On February 14, the Arizona House unanimously passed HB 2335, which provides that vice-presidential nominees’ names should be printed on November ballots. Arizona and North Dakota have been the only two states that don’t print the names of vice-presidential nominees on the November ballot.

The Arizona bill started out this year as a bill to not only put vice-presidential candidates on the ballot, but to stop listing the candidates for presidential elector on the ballot. Only six states still print the names of presidential elector candidates on the ballot, and Arizona is the largest-population state to list them. Eleven candidates for presidential elector, for each party, and also for each independent candidate for president, takes up a lot of room on the ballot. And voters can’t vote for individual electors in any event. But, the bill was amended before it passed, to keep the names of the presidential electors on the ballot.
