AZ SB1490

Creates Arizona State Voting Rights Act establishing voting and representational participation rights for all citizens regardless of race, income, gender, disability, national origin, language ability, age, sexual orientation, or religion.

Designates "covered political subdivisions" based on census data if more than 2% of voting-age citizens or 4,000+ citizens from a single language minority speak English "less than very well," or if a language minority group has higher illiteracy rates than the national average.

Requires covered political subdivisions to provide voting materials in minority languages of equal quality to English materials and ensure at least one fluent election official speaks each language minority at every polling place.

Establishes violations and remedies including presumption that election law changes within 90 days before elections reducing voter access violate the act, with penalties up to $250,000 per affected voter for language material violations.

Allows members of protected classes, relevant organizations, and the attorney general to bring civil actions; requires courts to expedite cases, award prevailing plaintiffs attorney fees and litigation costs, and fashion remedies including additional voting hours, polling locations, registration opportunities, and calendar modifications.
