To be clear, SB 1485 went to the legislature multiple times w/ intentionally confusing & ambiguous language. Confusing & discouraging voters IS disenfranchisement. If @dougducey REALLY wanted meaningful elections change in AZ he coulda pushed for Same Day Voter Registration.
Or Automatic Voter Registration through the DMV’s database.
Or increased funding for Voter Education initiatives.
Or he coulda stood by the elections results in Maricopa and spoken out against this audit sham.
Or he coulda listened to the Tribal Nations who told him (and the legislature) that our unstable internet infrastructure, lack of public transportation, or even the distance to community hubs was a barrier to registering to vote.

While our office has maintained opposition to SB1485 since it was introduced in the state legislature in February, it now includes much more concise language and will impact fewer voters.   
 
The “Permanent Early Voting List” is now the “Active Early Voting List”
It will NOT result in anyone being removed from the PEVL until April 2025.
 
No one will be removed from the voting rolls entirely.
 
Even voters who are eventually removed from EAVL in 2025, EVERYONE under AZ law continues to have the right to request a 1-time mail ballot.
Even for voters who are eventually removed, they always retain the right to re-enroll themselves in the Active Early Voting List.

Watching the AZ State Leg Gov & Elections Committee as they debate SB 1485 otherwise known as the PEVL PURGE bill. It will remove voters fr the PERMANENT Early Voting List. The bill is poorly worded and could kick 100K+ Az voters off the PERMANENT list.
The Permanent Early Voting List, which nearly 80% of all AZ voters are signed up for, allows voters to automatically receive a ballot for each election they’re eligible to vote in.
The language of the bill is confusing and as it reads right now, could kick people who did not return their ballot by mail in ONE election in a 4 year cycle.
