HB 2902 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

electoral college; support

HB 2902 is a symbolic bill that adds a new section to Arizona law affirming the importance of the Electoral College for U.S. presidential elections. It states three reasons: that the Founding Fathers enshrined it in the Constitution, it ensures all parts of the country are involved in selecting the president, and it guarantees certainty in election outcomes. The bill does not change voting procedures, alter electoral rules, or affect any voters or candidates. It is purely declaratory and has no binding effect on election administration. Arizona's legislature is formally expressing support for the Electoral College system through this resolution.
