9. CHANGE IN POLLING PLACE SIGNAGE Approve request to change polling place signage related to voting identification requirements to make directions easier to understand. Additionally, allow for supplemental detailed information regarding voting identification requirements (currently printed on the sign) to be available inside the polling place upon request. Arizona Revised Statutes 16-404 and 16-405, the Board of Supervisors has a duty to provide the supplies needed for polling places. On the advice of Counsel, we are seeking the Board’s approval of this sign design as it is a key supply provided for polling place set-up. State law requires that certain forms of identification be allowed as proof of a voters identity at polling places on Election Day. Currently, signage explaining this requirement and the forms of ID allowed is written in legalese and difficult to understand (see Exhibit A: Current ID Requirements Sign). The Elections Department had redesigned the signs to meet legal requirements but be easier to understand and more clear for voters (see Exhibit B: ID Ready – Proposed Signage Design). In order to free up space for this more simple design, some information was removed. The Elections Department proposes that the sign state that additional information, previously included on the sign, now be available as a handout, upon request, inside the polling place. See sample of existing sign (Exhibit A) and proposed change (Exhibit B). (C-21-18-003-M-00) Sheriff - Alguacil
