Do Arizona county recorders oppose a proposition that would enact more voter ID requirements?
In an Oct. 11, 2022 statement, members of the Arizona Association of County Recorders said they unanimously oppose Proposition 309, which would create new requirements for both mail-in and in-person voting. The recorders argue the proposition “addresses a non-existent problem, it imposes new burdens on voters, it delays tabulation results, it jeopardizes voter data privacy, and it will likely disenfranchise thousands of voters.”
If passed, Proposition 309 would require voters to provide a date of birth and government-issued identification number in addition to a signature on mail-in ballots. In-person voters would need to provide photo identification and could no longer rely on alternate forms of identification.
Currently, voters can provide two forms of non-photo identification, as long as they show a name and address matching the information on the voter’s registration, according to the Arizona Secretary of State’s office.
