candidate petitions; circulators
SB 1267 standardizes Arizona's candidate nomination petitions by requiring specific formatting (11x8.5 inch paper, numbered lines, and defined signature columns) and clarifying circulator registration rules. It mandates that petition signers provide actual residence addresses (or valid alternatives like post office boxes) and limits each voter to signing for one candidate per office unless multiple candidates are elected. These changes directly affect candidates collecting signatures, circulators gathering petitions, and voters signing petitions for state and legislative races. The bill focuses on procedural clarity for petition verification under Arizona Revised Statutes §16-315 and §16-321.
