Bill > HB2546

This bill changes how school elections are administered in Arizona by establishing that the county recorder will now be responsible for maintaining voter registration rolls and that the county officer in charge of elections will conduct school elections using the same procedures as county elections. Specifically, the bill requires the county recorder to manage voter registration and mandates that school election procedures follow the same processes used in county elections under titles 16 and 19 of Arizona law. The bill also modifies nomination paper filing requirements for school district candidates, shifting the filing location from the county school superintendent to the county elections officer. Additionally, the bill updates various references to school districts in election-related statutes, such as adding "school district" to definitions and filing requirements. These changes will take effect for elections conducted after December 31, 2025, and the legislative council staff is directed to prepare conforming legislation to align other statutes with these new provisions.
