Introduced Text

Arizona HB4059 amends election laws to standardize ballot formats and candidate placements in primary elections.

Arizona HB4059 revises election procedures to ensure uniformity in ballot design and candidate placement during primary elections. It mandates that all candidates for a given office appear on the same ballot, with their names rotated to occupy each position an equal number of times. If fewer candidates run than positions available, names are listed alphabetically. The bill also requires the preparation and distribution of sample ballots, ensuring they are available at polling places and mailed to voters.
