nomination petitions; counties; strict compliance

HB 2705 amends Arizona election laws to require strict compliance with nomination petition rules for candidates. It specifies exact wording for partisan and nonpartisan petitions, clarifies that signatures from multiple counties are acceptable for district offices, and allows post office box addresses for candidates with protected residences. The bill directly affects candidates seeking public office who must gather signatures through these standardized petitions. It failed to advance in the legislature on February 19, 2025, so these changes did not become law.
