Arizona: Bill Would Restrict Recall Elections
Senate Republicans hope to avoid a repeat of the recall election that ousted Sen. Russell Pearce in November.
Â
The state Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday passed Senate Bill 1449, which would require recall elections to consist of a party-specific primary and then, if necessary, a runoff in which all voters could participate, similar to regular partisan elections.
Â
Currently, recall elections require only a single election in which all candidates and all voters can participate.
