Bill > SB1664

This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 16-322, which outlines the number of signatures required on nomination petitions for candidates seeking office. The changes primarily involve clarifying and adjusting the percentage of "qualified signers" (registered voters eligible to sign the petition) needed for various positions, particularly for candidates for justice of the peace and constable in counties with a population of one million or more, and for candidates for constable in those same counties, specifying a minimum of one thousand signatures or ten percent of qualified signers, whichever is less. The bill also makes minor wording adjustments to ensure clarity regarding the basis for calculating signature requirements, such as using "this state" instead of "the state" for U.S. Senator and state office candidates.
