HB 2879 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

county committee; vacancy; precinct committeeman

HB 2879 amends Arizona law to change how vacancies are filled for precinct committeemen, who are local party representatives elected at primaries. The bill requires county party chairs to submit a list of candidates to the board of supervisors, who must appoint from that list within 14 days (approved by the county recorder). This affects county-level political party committees statewide by standardizing vacancy procedures. The bill was introduced in 2025 but failed to pass.
