HB 2256 makes changes to sample ballot distribution requirements before a primary election.

 

History

Current law requires a county election officer to mail a sample ballot of each political party to each house containing a registered voter of that political party.  If a registered voter is registered as a member of a party that is not represented on the ballot, the county election officer must send one sample ballot of each political party to that registered voter to comply with Arizona open election requirements.

 

Provisions

·                      Allows an election officer to use an alternative format for mailing a sample ballot to a voter whose party is not entitled to representation on the ballot.

 

HB 2256 passed the Judiciary Committee unamended.

 

HB 2256 was amended in the Committee of the Whole with a technical and conforming change recommended by the Rules Committee.
