The measure is one of a host of conservative responses to the false idea that rampant voter fraud occurred in the 2020 election. The bills sponsor, Sen. John Kavanagh, said its intent is to increase transparency.
Under Kavanaghs bill, county recorders would be required to post a list of the names and addresses of all eligible voters on the countys website 10 days before primary and general elections. That list would include both active and inactive voters.
When the bill was approved last month by the House of Representatives, county election officials would have also been required to publish the names, addresses and method of voting for every voter who cast a ballot after every election. But Republicans on the Government Committee amended the bill to shift that responsibility to the secretary of state, who would publish that information for all Arizona voters after each election.
The bill would also require all ballot images to be published, along with a way to link those ballot images to the post-election publication of voters names.

(42,224 posts)Voting by Australian ballot usually takes place in a prescribed manner. The voting boxes are required to be of certain dimensions and closed, the only aperture being a small slit at the top. These containers are examined before the poll begins and cannot be opened until the count begins. The voter marks a ballot, often while standing in a special booth, and (after the voters right to vote has been verified) the vote is placed inside the container.

In Great Britain the secret ballot was finally introduced for all parliamentary and municipal elections by the Ballot Act of 1872. In the United States, the Australian ballot system was extensively adopted after the presidential election of 1884.

Now embraced as a cornerstone of modern democracy, the secret ballot brought an immediate reduction to election violence, intimidation and bribery. It also curtailed the Robber Barons vice-grip control over elections and diminished their hold on the democratic process. By curbing the government capture of the Gilded Age, the secret ballot opened the door for the Progressive Era.
