According to Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who opposes the legislative action, 75% of Arizonans are members of the permanent early voting list and 80% of Arizonans used the early voting mechanism to cast ballots in the 2020 election.

Several Democrats said Tuesday that the voters who would be most negatively impacted by this legislation are the ones who do not exercise their constitutional right regularly.

“Voting is probably our most precious civil right, but it’s not mandatory … (this bill) seeks, as it seems, to punish those who do not regularly vote,” said state Sen. Kristen Engel. “Those are not the folks we need to make it more difficult to vote.”

“This will impact all voters, not just Democrats … This is going to impact independents. This is going to impact Republicans,” said state Sen. Rebecca Rios, the minority leader.


Dems, start your engines..be active in every legislative district..
