Arizona Revised Statutes Title 16. Elections and Electors § 16-169. Disposition and use of precinct registers; signature roster; form

A. Upon completion of the precinct registers, the county recorder shall certify to their completeness and correctness and shall transmit them to the election boards. A copy shall be retained by the county recorder in either print or electronic media for verification purposes on election day, and then that copy shall be delivered by the recorder to the early election boards. The board of election shall use the original of the precinct register, which shall be known as the “signature roster”, for identifying the electors qualified to vote in the precinct and may use the remaining copies to process voters or may place them in a convenient place outside the poll limits for use by the electors.

B. If paper signature rosters are used, the signature roster shall be bound with suitable covers and shall bear on the outside front cover the title, “signature roster ____________ precinct, ________________ county, Arizona.” On the cover shall appear, printed or typed, a certificate to be signed by the inspector substantially as follows:

I, ________, inspector of the board of election of ________ precinct, ________ county, Arizona hereby certify that the foregoing (excepting signatures in red) are true and correct signatures of all electors who voted ________ in precinct on ________.

C. If electronic media poll book systems are used for signature rosters, a separate affidavit shall be supplied for the inspector's signature that is in substantially the same format as prescribed in subsection B of this section.
