This bill proposes to amend section 16-956 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which governs the Citizens Clean Elections Act. The current law requires the Citizens Clean Elections Commission to publish a Voter Education Guide that includes the names of candidates for statewide and legislative district offices. The proposed changes would expand this requirement to also include candidates for countywide offices, ensuring that all candidates are represented in the guide for both primary and general elections.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that mandates the Commission to develop a procedure for publishing these documents and specifies that they must be delivered to every household with a registered voter. It also introduces a clause that requires a three-fourths majority vote in both legislative houses for the amendments to take effect, in accordance with Arizona's constitutional requirements. Overall, the bill aims to enhance voter education by providing more comprehensive information about all candidates running for office.
