justices of the peace; online signature

HB 2390 creates a secure online system for collecting nomination petitions for certain local offices in Arizona. It requires the Secretary of State to provide an internet portal where qualified voters can sign petitions for candidates running for city/town office, county office, justice of the peace, constable, or precinct committeeman. The system verifies voter identity and transmits signatures to election officials. Starting in 2025, candidates may collect up to 110% of the required signatures online (previously limited to the minimum number through 2024). This bill directly affects local candidates and election administrators by changing how nomination petitions are gathered for these specific positions.
