candidate petitions; random sample verification

HB 2845 requires Arizona election officials to randomly verify 5% of candidate petition signatures within 20 days of filing. County recorders must then disqualify signatures meeting specific criteria (e.g., missing addresses, illegible signatures, invalid voter status) within 15 days and report results to the filing officer and candidate committees. This process applies directly to candidates needing petition signatures for office, standardizing verification without changing eligibility requirements.
