Arizona Bill Moves Ahead, Would Simplify Presidential Candidate Listing on November Ballot

Only six states still print the candidates for presidential elector on November ballots. The most populous of these six states is Arizona, which has ten electoral votes.

Arizona Senator Jack W. Harper (R-Surprise) has introduced SB 1024, which provides that the names of presidential elector candidates would no longer appear on the November ballot. Instead, the ballot would list the names of candidates for President and Vice-President. The existing law does not permit the names of vice-presidential candidates to be printed on the ballot. On February 18, the bill passed second reading in the Senate.

Removing the names of candidates for presidential elector (especially in states with a sizable number of presidential electors) creates a simpler ballot.
