SCR 1014 Arizona Senate · 56th Legislature - Second Regular Session

presidential electors; constitutional appointments

This bill directs the Arizona Legislature to stay in session during presidential election years and grants it the sole authority to appoint presidential electors. The measure is based on the interpretation that the U.S. Constitution assigns this specific power to the state legislature rather than the Secretary of State or any other official. By codifying this role, the bill ensures that the Legislature, and no other entity, handles the selection of electors in accordance with constitutional requirements. It does not change the number of electors or the voting process, but rather clarifies which government body performs the appointment.
