Information
Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution 24-11 canceling the election of certain Precinct Committeemen, for the 2024 Primary Election on July 30, 2024, and appointing all candidates that filed to run for Precinct Committeemen for those precincts in which no election is required.
Background:
Pursuant to A.R.S. 16-410, 16-822B, if the number of persons who file nominating petitions or write-in nomination petitions for an election to fill Precinct Committeeman positions is less than or equal to the number of Precinct Committeeman positions, the County Board of Supervisors may cancel the election for those positions and appoint the person(s) who filed the nomination petition to fill the position. If no person has filed a nominating petition to fill a position, the position is deemed vacant and shall be filled as otherwise provided by law. A Precinct Committeeman who is appointed pursuant to this subsection after filing a nominating petition shall be deemed an elected Precinct Committeeman with fully vested powers and duties of the office and shall serve a two-year term beginning on October 1, 2024.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Send notification to County Party Chairs and prepare and send certificates of election to Precinct Committeemen after the July 30, 2024 election.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Not in compliance with A.R.S. 16-822(B) and would have to conduct an election for each of these precincts at a considerable expense to the County, which is not reimbursable.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
Provide an executed and recorded copy of the Resolution to the Elections Director.
