Arizona SB1588 outlines the process for filling legislative vacancies, including the role of the board of supervisors and the state party chairman.

Arizona SB1588 amends the process for filling legislative vacancies. If a vacancy occurs, the board of supervisors must appoint a citizens panel to submit three qualified electors to fill the vacancy. The state party chairman then selects one from the nominees. If the legislature is in session or a special session is pending, the board of supervisors must appoint someone from the same political party as the vacating officeholder. If the vacancy was not represented by a political party, the board of supervisors appoints someone from the same district and county.
