Partisan primaries are included as separate elections, meaning that a voter could be removed if they fail to vote back-to-back election cycles, but they must also first fail to respond to mail notices alerting them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArizona is a national leader when it comes to election integrity and access to the ballot box, and today I signed #SB1485 to continue that legacy,\u201d Ducey wrote on Twitter after signing the bill.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/06\/ron-desantis-election-laws-elections-2020-florida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Ron DeSantis Signs Sweeping Election Overhauls Into Law)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7190197\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"35\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7190197\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7190197\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1232636430-scaled-1.jpg\" alt srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1232636430-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn01.dailycaller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1232636430-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1232636430-620x413-1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1232636430-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1232636430-1536x1024-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/GettyImages-1232636430-2048x1366-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"  style=\"display:none\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7190197\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Contractors examine and recount ballots from the 2020 general election at Veterans Memorial Coliseum on May 1, 2021 in Phoenix, Arizona.

The bill passed the state Senate earlier Tuesday on a 16-14 party-line vote.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/staceyabrams\/status\/1392229727465840649\">Critics<\/a> say that the bill could remove over 125,000 voters, a disproportionate share of whom are Latino.<\/p>\n<p>The bill faced a rocky journey through Arizona\u2019s Republican-controlled state legislature. After passing in the Senate and amended before passing the House, it temporarily stalled when the Senate was set to pass the amended version due to a controversial audit of the 2020 election that had begun in the state, but ultimately passed.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP-backed audit of the state\u2019s mail-in ballots follows multiple reviews that found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the state, which President Joe Biden narrowly <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/11\/30\/arizona-wisconsin-certify-election-results-affirming-narrow-joe-biden-victories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">won<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The audit has alarmed both Arizona election officials and the Department of Justice, which has suggested that it may <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/06\/department-of-justice-arizona-donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">violate federal election laws<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
