Introduced Text

Arizona HB2845 mandates random sample verification of candidate petition signatures.

Arizona HB2845 introduces a process for random sample verification of candidate petition signatures. Within twenty days after the last day for filing, the filing officer must randomly select five percent of the total signatures for verification. The filing officer then transmits copies of the selected signatures to county recorders for certification. County recorders must disqualify signatures for reasons such as illegible handwriting, lack of residence address, or if the signer was not a qualified elector.
