AI Summary

  • Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 16-322 to clarify that nomination petition signature requirements are based on qualified signers in districts that were effective on January 2 of the election year, not on the day new districts become effective.

  • Allows 2022 legislative and congressional candidates to file nomination papers and petitions using any of three district boundaries: the 2020 election districts, the 2021 independent redistricting commission plan, or a court-ordered redistricting plan for the 2022 election.

  • Permits petition signers for 2022 legislative and congressional candidates to be registered voters from any of the three possible district boundaries the candidate proposes to represent.

  • Provides county boards of supervisors a seven-month extension (until July 1, 2022) to divide counties into supervisorial districts, due to delays in decennial census data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

  • Declares the act an emergency measure effective immediately upon passage.
