Well, as much as some people wish it wasn’t so, we find ourselves at the beginning of a long election year. Politically charged races vie for attention with other more low key races. But it all begins with a candidate qualifying for the ballot.
To begin with, if you are running for office this year at the federal, state or local level, the primary has been moved from August to July 30, 2024. Governor Hobbs signed HB 2785 on February 9th. That means all the deadlines have changed and are now 7 days earlier.
Candidate Filing of nomination paperwork, petitions and financial disclosure is now March 2nd to April 1st for the July 30th primary. June 8th to July 8th for the General election non partisan offices.
The Candidate Challenge Period is April 2nd to April 15th for the July 30th ballot. And July 9th to July 22nd for the General Election.
The Primary Election is now July 30th
The General Election is November 5th
For voters, the voter registration deadline is July 1st for the July 30th Primary, and October 7th for the November 5th General election.
