AZ SB1370

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes Section 16-1016 to expand the definition of illegal voting as a class 5 felony by adding two new provisions regarding multi-jurisdictional voting.

Makes it illegal to knowingly vote in two or more Arizona jurisdictions where residency is required for voting if the person is not a resident of all jurisdictions where they voted, establishing that a person has only one residence for voting purposes.

Makes it illegal to knowingly vote in Arizona in a federal election and simultaneously vote in another state in a federal election held on the same date.

Establishes legislative intent to overrule State v. Hannah court decision and clarify that voters have only one residence, cannot be registered in multiple states, and that voting simultaneously in multiple jurisdictions on the same day constitutes a criminal violation.

Confirms that preventing vote dilution through penalizing simultaneous voting in multiple jurisdictions is an important aspect of Arizona election law and required under the U.S. Constitution.
