The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding the nomination process for write-in candidates in Arizona. Specifically, it would change the deadline for filing a nomination paper from the current requirement of 5:00 p.m. on the 40th day before an election to 5:00 p.m. on the 60th day before the election. This adjustment aims to provide candidates with additional time to prepare and submit their nomination papers.
Additionally, the bill includes technical changes to the language of the statute, such as replacing the term "fortieth" with "sixtieth" in the relevant section. It also modifies the requirements for presidential candidates by clarifying the designation of their vice presidential running mate and the filing of nomination papers for presidential electors. Overall, these updates are intended to streamline the nomination process for write-in candidates while ensuring compliance with the new deadlines.
