This bill amends section 16-242 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to introduce a new provision specifically for the 2024 presidential election. It states that if a presidential nominee from either of the two largest political parties in Arizona is disqualified from the ballot for any reason, the name of the nominee from the other party and their electors will also be removed from the ballot.
Under the current law, there is no provision that links the disqualification of a nominee from one party to the removal of the other party's nominee from the ballot. The new bill effectively creates a scenario where the disqualification of one party's nominee directly impacts the ballot status of the other party's nominee, ensuring that if one is disqualified, the other cannot appear on the ballot or have their votes counted.
