Arizona Deserves Better
This bill promotes a list of ten ballot fraud countermeasures, including bar and QR codes; those codes could violate the ballot secrecy guarantee of the Arizona Constitution. Additionally, it gives an outside group access to the voter registration database, limits Secretary of State’s authority to defend state election laws, and gives authority to the Attorney General. Some limits only apply during the term of the current Secretary of State. It also requires Game and Fish to assist with voter registration. Spends $500,000 to investigate social media. Requires detailed monitoring of county voter registration efforts. Signing this petition will help put parts of SB1819 on the 2022 ballot.
- Requires 118,823 valid signatures
- Available at PCDP to be signed and/or circulated
