HB 2060 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

state sovereign authority; elections

HB 2060 requires all Arizona elections for federal offices (like U.S. President, Congress, and Senate) to follow the same voter registration, citizenship, residency, and identification rules as state and local elections. It mandates that federal elections be conducted "in the same manner" as state elections under Arizona's existing election statutes. The bill directly affects how federal elections are administered in Arizona, aligning them with state election laws rather than federal standards. The bill passed the Arizona legislature in April 2025 but was vetoed by the governor on April 15, 2025.
