The Arizona attorney general's office announced on Oct. 5 that Guillermina Fuentes was indicted for voting another person's early ballot in the August 2020 primary election.
She was charged with conspiracy, forgery and a ballot abuse count.
Guillermina Fuentes who was indicted for illegally returning four voted mail-in ballots that were not hers is facing three new felony charges.
Fuentes, 65, a Democrat, is a former mayor of the border city of San Luis.
She and another San Luis woman were indicted in December on one count each of ballot abuse for returning four voted early ballots that did not belong to her or a family member in the 2020 primary election.
The Legislature passed the ban on ballot harvesting in 2016.
It bars anyone but a caregiver or family member from returning a mail ballot and carries a presumptive sentence of a year in prison.
