AZ SB1719

Amends Arizona election law to allow 2022 legislative and congressional candidates to file nomination papers designating any of three district versions: 2020 districts, 2021 redistricting commission districts, or court-ordered districts.

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

Reduces signature requirements for 2022 legislative candidates to the lesser of: the average needed across all 2020 districts of their party, or the requirement for their numbered 2020 district matched to their 2022 district number.

Reduces signature requirements for 2022 congressional candidates using the same methodology as legislative candidates.

For 2022 precinct committeeman elections only, eliminates nomination petition requirements; candidates submit nomination papers to county political party committees by April 18, 2022, with committees submitting one candidate per precinct to the board of supervisors for appointment by May 2, 2022.
