On March 6, Arizona SB 1057 passed the State Senate 28-2. It moves the primary from the last Tuesday in August, to the first Tuesday in August. It also moves the deadline for a candidate to file for the primary from 90 days before the primary to 120 days before the primary.
It also moves the deadline for a non-presidential independent candidate petition to early April. It moves the deadline for a petition for a new party from February of the election year, to late November of the year before the election. Read the bill here.
February of the election year is too early for a deadline, and November of the year before the election is so early that it is ridiculous and should be ruled unconstitutional. The deadline for a new party should be later, not earlier.
