If enacted, this bill would amend Title 16, Chapter 4, Article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 16-410.01, which would affirm the importance of the electoral college in presidential elections. The bill would explicitly state that the legislature recognizes the electoral college as a vital mechanism for selecting the President of the United States, citing three main reasons: it was established by the founding fathers as the best method for presidential selection, it ensures participation from all regions of the country, and it provides certainty in election outcomes.

The bill does not alter any existing statutes but rather adds new language to emphasize the legislature's support for the electoral college. This addition aims to reinforce the historical and functional significance of the electoral college in the electoral process, without making any substantive changes to current election laws.
