AZ HB2612

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes Section 16-1005 to establish that a person convicted of ballot collection violations is ineligible for nomination or election to any elected public office in Arizona.

Provides that any person holding elected office who is convicted of a ballot collection violation must resign from office, and the office becomes vacant by operation of law.

Creates new Section 38-296.02 to codify ineligibility for public office as a consequence of conviction under Section 16-1005 ballot abuse provisions.

Applies the ineligibility provision to all violations under Section 16-1005, including ballot marking fraud, unlawful consideration for ballots, unlawful ballot possession, false solicitation of ballot collection, failure to deliver collected ballots, and pattern of ballot fraud.
