Arizona Voters Get More Time to Sign Ballots: Campaign Update
Arizona voters who forget to sign envelopes for their mail-in ballots should be given as long as five days after Election Day to sign them, a federal judge ruled Thursday in a lawsuit brought by the national Democratic Party.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Douglas L. Rayes in Phoenix is a victory for the the Democratic National Committee and other groups that argued in a June lawsuit that such voters should be given the same opportunity to sign their ballots as people whose signatures are mismatched.
Voters whose signatures are mismatched have were already been given five days after Election Day to resolve the problem, while voters with missing signatures only had until 7 p.m. on Election Day.
Most Arizona voters take advantage of voting early by mail, according to the ruling, and many more are expected to do so this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. The signatures on the ballot envelopes are compared to those on file with election officials, and those that can’t be verified by their respective deadlines are tossed out. -- Erik Larson
