Caucus & COW
Overview
Increases, from 11 to 14, the minimum number of days before an election that a county board of supervisors must mail primary and general election sample ballots.
History
At least 45 days before the primary election, the officer in charge of that election must:
1) prepare a sample ballot proof;
2) submit each party's sample ballot proof to the respective county, city or town chairman; and
3) mail a sample ballot proof to each candidate for whom petitions and a nomination paper have been filed.
Within two calendar days after receipt of the sample ballot, the county chairman of each political party and any properly registered candidate in that election must suggest to the election officer any change to the ballot considered necessary.
Currently, a board of supervisors is required to, at least 11 days before a primary election, have printed mailer-type sample ballots and mail one sample ballot of a political party to each household containing a registered voter of that political party unless that voter is on the active early voting list (A.R.S. § 16-461).
At least 11 days before a general election, a board of supervisors is required to have printed mailer-type sample ballots and mail one such sample ballot to each household in the county containing a registered voter unless that voter is on the active early voting list (A.R.S. § 16-510).
