HB2080 is a bill that proposes amendments to sections 9-235 and 9-821.01 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, concerning city and town elections. The bill allows for a candidate who receives a majority of votes at the primary election for the office of mayor or city council to complete the remainder of the existing term if that office is currently filled by appointment. It also declares such a candidate elected after the election results are certified and the oath of office is taken.

The bill specifies that if more than one candidate receives a majority of votes for an office currently filled by appointment, the order of seating will be determined by the number of votes received. Additionally, the bill makes technical and conforming changes to the existing law, and it is set to become effective on the general effective date.
