AI Summary

This bill modifies Arizona's laws regarding candidate petitions and the individuals who circulate them, known as circulators. Key changes include clarifying that a circulator is not required to be a resident of Arizona but must be qualified to register to vote in the state, and if not a resident, must register with the Secretary of State. The bill also specifies that a circulator's name should be typed or printed in the verification section of the petition immediately after the word "I," and that their actual residence address or a description of its location must be included. Additionally, it states that a circulator is not required to print their name more than once on the petition's verification portion. These changes aim to streamline the petition process while ensuring proper verification of signatures.
