Arizona Legislature Passes Bill Moving Deadline for Parties to Choose Presidential Electors from June to August

On April 25, the Arizona House unanimously passed SB 1307. It moves the deadline for parties to nominate candidates for presidential elector from early June to late August. This bill only exists because the Green Party missed the June deadline in 2016, and sued in federal court, and the Secretary of State didn’t contest the lawsuit, accepted the party’s filing, and said she would ask the legislature to ease the deadline.

The bill had already passed the Senate, so now it goes to the Governor.
