AZ HB2839

Amends A.R.S. § 16-322 to clarify that when new boundaries for supervisorial districts, justice precincts, or election precincts are adopted after January 2 of an election year and before the nomination petition filing deadline, signature requirements are based on qualified signers in the district or precinct on the effective date of the new boundaries.

Allows 2022 legislative and congressional candidates to file nomination papers designating any district used in 2020 elections, adopted by the 2021 independent redistricting commission, or ordered by court for 2022 elections.

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

Sets 2022 legislative and congressional nomination signature requirements at the lesser of: the average needed for all districts in that office for the candidate's party, or the standard requirement based on the 2020 district with the same numeral as the district being sought.

Establishes alternative procedures for 2022 county and local office candidates to file nomination papers designating multiple possible districts, with petition signers from any of those districts, following the same redistricting flexibility principles.
