Bill > HCR2060

This resolution proposes an amendment to Article VII, Section 10 of the Arizona Constitution regarding primary elections, specifically seeking to remove language that currently allows voters registered as no party preference, independent, or with unqualified political parties to vote in primary elections of qualified political parties. The proposed change would effectively repeal the state's open primary system, which currently permits voters who are not formally affiliated with a specific party to participate in primary elections. If approved by voters in the next general election, as directed by the Secretary of State, the amendment would restrict primary election participation to voters registered with the specific political party holding the primary. This modification represents a significant shift in Arizona's electoral process, potentially limiting voter participation in candidate selection and challenging the existing more inclusive primary election approach.
