With just under a year to Election Day 2024, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer said it doesn't matter whether workers are new or old, they're all trained alike to ensure they feel comfortable and confident at the polls.
Elections officials have asked in-person voters to use the pens provided at the polls—which contain fast-drying ink—to avoid ink smearing and potentially invalidating the ballot.

Voting proposals from Democrats, on the other hand, include automatic and same-day voter registration, opening more early voting locations, and implementing a voters’ bill of rights.

The proposed law would require Arizona voters to show their ID an additional time to vote, this time when dropping off an early ballot at a voting center.
