SB1593 is a bill that proposes amendments to the Arizona Revised Statutes relating to recall and advisory recall elections. The bill seeks to extend the timeframe in which a special recall election can be called from 90 days to 120 days after an election. Additionally, it modifies the period during which a candidate may circulate a nomination petition to align with the time provided for circulating the recall petition. The bill also adjusts the filing period for nomination petitions from between 60 and 90 days before the recall election to between 90 and 120 days before the election. Technical changes are included, and the bill is set to become effective on the general effective date. A revision corrects the increase in the number of days after an election in which a special recall election may be called to 120 days, rather than the previously stated 130 days.
