What changed in the latest version
21 added · 17 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendments to SB 1451 change the timeline for candidates wishing to appear on the ballot for a primary election. Candidates must now file their nomination papers between 90 and 120 days before the primary, rather than just a minimum of 90 days. This change is significant because it provides potential candidates with a clearer, more structured timeframe to prepare and submit their paperwork, ultimately aiming to streamline the election process in Arizona.
