This bill proposes updates to section 16-650 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the conduct of elections. The current law stipulates that the secretary of state shall declare elected the person receiving the highest number of votes and deliver a certificate of election to each elected individual, provided they comply with legal requirements.

The proposed changes include the insertion of new language that modifies the conditions under which the certificate of election is delivered. Specifically, the bill replaces the term "upon" with "in" and "on," clarifying the compliance requirements for candidates. Additionally, it removes the phrase "the" before "state" in the final sentence, streamlining the language without altering the meaning. Overall, these updates aim to enhance clarity and precision in the election process.
