AZ HB2491

Amends Arizona law to allow cities and towns to hold nonpartisan elections with no indication of candidate party affiliation or support source on ballots.

Requires that only voters qualified in a specific district, ward, precinct, or geographic area may vote for council members elected from that district in primary, general, runoff, or other elections.

Permits cities and towns to declare a candidate elected in the primary election if they receive a majority of votes cast, eliminating the need for a general election.

Allows cities to calculate majority votes for mayoral candidates based on the total votes tabulated for all mayoral candidates, rather than total votes cast for all offices.

Enables towns with populations of 5,000 or fewer to adopt an alternative procedure allowing candidates receiving the highest number of votes to be elected if at least three-fifths of seats are filled by majority vote recipients.
