The lawsuit details the following issues:

The date when voters who fail to vote in two consecutive general elections can be removed from a list that automatically mails a ballot to a voter. The manual says the clock starts ticking after the 2026 election cycle. But the lawmakers argue since the bill that converted the Permanent Early Voting List to the Active Early Voting List was passed in 2022, the trigger should trip after the 2024 election cycle.

Whether there is discretion to remove a person from the voter rolls if they have signed a juror document that they are not a resident of Arizona. The manual says such notification would put the individual on inactive voting status, which would allow time for the voter to show proof of Arizona residency. But the lawmakers point to a state law that says a notification of nonresidency requires cancellation of the voter's registration.

Whether elections officials should cancel voter registration if they receive third-party information that a person is not a U.S. citizen. The manual says that outside information is not sufficient to take someone off the voter rolls. The lawmakers point to a state law that says elections officials must do so if they "reasonably believe" the individual is a noncitizen and third-party information can help create that reasonable belief.

The validity of a petition circulator's contact information. The manual removes the "strict compliance" required in the law for circulators. The lawmakers argue this on its face is a violation of law.

What to do if a county board of supervisors refuses to canvass election results by the required deadline. This addresses a situation that arose in 2022 in Cochise County, where two of the three county supervisors refused to canvass results. They ultimately were compelled to by a court order.
