Process to become a candidate

See also:Ballot access requirements for political candidates in Arizona

See statutes:Title 16, Chapter 3 of the Arizona Revised Statutes

Candidates inArizona can access the ballot as political party candidates, independent candidates, or write-in candidates. Candidates must file a statement of interest, nomination paper, financial disclosure statement, and nomination petitions.^[2] Candidates file in-person or online, though the Candidate Portal, depending on the document in question.Cite error: Invalid<ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title

Political party candidates

Political party candidates are nominated in primary elections. If no candidate is nominated at the primary election for a specific office, no candidate for that office can appear on the general election ballot for that political party.^[3][4]

A political party candidate must file his or her nomination documents during the candidate filing period, which begins 120 days before the primary and ends 90 days before the primary. At the time of filing, a candidate must be a qualified voter residing in the geographic area represented by the office being sought. The following documents must be filed in order to gain ballot access:Cite error: Invalid<ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title

• a financial disclosure statement
• an affidavit affirming that the candidate will be eligible to hold office if elected
• a nomination paper including the following information:
  • candidate’s residence address
  • name of the party with which the candidate is affiliated
  • office the candidate seeks, with district or precinct, if applicable
  • the candidate’s name as the candidate wishes it to appear on the ballot
  • date of the primary and corresponding general election
• a nomination petition

Nomination petitions must be signed by qualified electors who are eligible to vote for the office the candidate is seeking. A qualified signer may be a "registered member of the party from which the candidate is seeking nomination," a "registered member of a political party that is not entitled to continued representation on the ballot," or an independent. To calculate the number of petition signatures needed, the voter registration totals as of the year of the election must be used. Signature requirements vary according to the office being sought. See the table below for further details.Cite error: Invalid<ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title

Newly qualified political party candidates

A candidate of a newly qualified political party must file the same documents at the same time as other political party candidates. Petition signature requirements are different for newly qualified political party candidates. A candidate of a new political party must file signatures equal to at least one-tenth of 1 percent of the total votes cast for the winning presidential or gubernatorial candidate at the last general election in the district the candidate seeks to represent.Cite error: Invalid<ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title

Independent candidates

A candidate may not run as an independent if he or she is representing a party that failed to qualify for the primary election. Additionally, a candidate cannot run as an independent if he or she tried and failed to qualify as a political party candidate in the primary.Cite error: Invalid<ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title

An independent candidate must be nominated by petition to run in the general election. The nomination petition must be filed with the financial disclosure statement during the candidate filing period, which begins 120 days before the primary election and ends 90 days before the primary election.Cite error: Invalid<ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title

An independent candidate's nomination petition must be signed by registered voters eligible to vote for the office the candidate is seeking. The number of signatures required on the petition is equal to at least 3 percent of all registered voters who are not affiliated with a recognized political party in the district the candidate seeks to represent. Signature requirement figures should be calculated using voter registration data from the year of the election. Though the number of signatures required to gain ballot access as an independent is related to the number of registered voters who are not affiliated with recognized political parties, the affiliation of those signing the petitions does not matter as long as they have not already signed a political party candidate's petition.Cite error: Invalid<ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title

Write-in candidates

A candidate may not file as a write-in if any of the following are true:Cite error: Invalid<ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title

• The candidate ran in the primary election and failed to get elected.
• The candidate did not file enough signatures to be allowed ballot access when previously filing for primary ballot access.
• The candidate filed nomination petitions to run in the general election but did not submit enough valid signatures to gain ballot access.

Write-in votes will not be counted unless the write-in candidate files a nomination paper and financial disclosure form no later than 5 p.m. on the 40th day before the election in which the candidate intends to run. The nomination paper must include the following information:Cite error: Invalid<ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title

• the candidate's name and signature
• the candidate's residence address or description of place of residence and post office address
• the candidate's age
• the length of time the candidate has been a resident of the state
• the candidate's date of birth
