Link to the Arizona Brief on Whether Initiative Supporters Should be Allowed to Gather Electronic Signatures

Here is the court filing before the Arizona Supreme Court in Arizonans for Second Chances v Hobbs, filed April 1, 2020. This is the lawsuit that says since Arizona already permits electronic signatures for candidate petitions, there is no state interest in refusing to let initiative petitions be gathered the same way.

On April 2, some other Arizona initiative proponents filed a similar case in U.S. District Court, Arizonans for Fair Elections v Hobbs, 2:20cv-658. Here is the Complaint. Thanks to Pat Quinn for the links.

  1. I thought there was a law (or constitutional provision) that required Arizona governmental agencies to conduct business with the public electronically, and that this was the basis by which you can petition for candidates online in Arizona.

    Or perhaps this applies to the SOS specifically. Remember a typical SOS handles a lot more than elections.
