This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding the nomination process for write-in candidates in Arizona elections. Specifically, it changes the deadline for filing a nomination paper from the current requirement of 5:00 p.m. on the 40th day before an election to a new deadline of 5:00 p.m. on the 60th day before the election. This adjustment aims to provide candidates with additional time to prepare their nomination materials.

Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to the language of the statute, including the insertion of the term "sixtieth" in place of "fortieth" and clarifying the designation of a vice presidential running mate and presidential electors for candidates filing for the office of president of the United States. These updates are intended to streamline the nomination process and ensure clarity in the requirements for candidates.
