school board candidates; electronic signatures

HB 2151 creates a secure online system for collecting nomination petition signatures for school board candidates in Arizona. It allows qualified voters to sign petitions electronically through a verified portal, with signatures transmitted directly to election officials. Starting in 2024, candidates may use this system to gather the minimum required signatures; beginning in 2025, they can collect up to 110% of the required signatures this way. The bill specifically applies to school board candidates and other local offices like city/town and county positions.
