If enacted, this bill would amend current Arizona statutes by adding a new section, 16-410.01, to title 16, chapter 4, article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The new section would formally affirm the importance of the electoral college in presidential elections, outlining specific reasons for this affirmation. These reasons include the belief that the founding fathers established the electoral college as the best method for selecting a president, its role in ensuring that all regions of the country participate in the selection process, and its function in providing certainty regarding the election outcome.

The bill does not propose any deletions from existing statutes but introduces several insertions that articulate the legislature's stance on the electoral college. This includes a clear declaration of the reasons behind the affirmation, emphasizing the historical and functional significance of the electoral college in the context of U.S. presidential elections. Overall, the bill aims to reinforce the legislative support for the electoral college without altering any existing legal language.
