HB 2314: presidential electors; ballots

Sponsor:  Representative Kavanagh, LD 23

Committee on Government & Elections

Overview

Stipulates that if the names of the presidential electors are printed on a ballot then they must also be included in a bracketed list.

History

When presidential electors are being voted for, the presidential and vice-presidential candidates of each party must be grouped and printed together.  Their names must be arranged in alphabetical order according to the surname of the presidential candidate.  Current statute dictates that the presidential electors be enclosed in a bracketed list on the ballot.  Next to the bracketed list, the surname of the presidential and vice-presidential candidate must be printed in bold type.  The indicator for the selection of presidential and vice-presidential candidates is located next to the surname of the presidential candidate and the mark directly next to that surname is counted as a vote for each presidential elector in the bracketed list (A.R.S. § 16-507).
