On March 3, a bill was introduced in the Arizona legislature, passed unanimously in both houses, and signed by the Governor. It eases the number of signatures needed by legislative candidates for 2022 only. The bill has no effect in some districts but lowers the number of signatures in other districts. Here is a description of House Bill 2839.
