Doug Ducey on Tuesday signed into law a controversial bill that could remove tens of thousands of voters from the state's early mail-in voting list, shortly after the GOP-controlled state Senate passed the legislation. SB 1485 would revise the state's permanent early voting list, which allows a voter to automatically receive a ballot by mail for every election. It would remove voters who have not participated in the last four elections, including partisan primaries, and don't respond to final mailed notices. Earlier on Tuesday, senators passed the bill on a 16-14 party-line vote. Under the bill, voters would not be eligible to be removed from the list until January 2025, following the 2022 and 2024 cycles.
