Hobbs, GOP, Democrats find compromise as fix to AZ's election calendar clears Legislature

Only four of the 90 lawmakers voted "no" to the bill.

The bill is designed to ensure military and overseas voters will get their ballots for November general election in timely manner.

It also will ensure that a time-consuming recount won't hold up Arizona 's ability to have its vote for president count in the national tally.

Every election director and board of supervisors in 15 counties supported the bill, with most of the county recorders also on board.

It would allow voters who filled out an early ballot to return it to a polling place on election day , show ID, and have their ballot stamped as verified without needing scrutiny of the voter's signature against the voting rolls. "I do like the signature verification," he said. "That's a good piece. That's probably the only good piece." Republic reporter Ray Stern contributed to this article..
