AI Summary

  • Amends Arizona Revised Statutes Section 16-351 to modify procedures for challenging nomination petitions and candidate nominations.

  • Establishes a 10-day challenge period (excluding weekends and holidays) after nomination papers are filed; if a candidate files supplemental petition signatures, a separate 10-day challenge period applies to those supplemental signatures.

  • Requires challengers to specify the petition number, line number, and basis for each signature challenge; failure to provide this information results in dismissal of the court action.
