The Arizona State Senate Elections Committee, chaired by State Senator Wendy Rogers (R-

Flagstaff), convened to discuss several proposed Senate bills to strengthen Arizona’s elections. One of those, SB 1265, sponsored by State Senator Anthony Kern (R-Glendale), presumptively restricts the implementation of a ranked choice voting (RCV) system in Arizona. Kern told the committee he hoped this bill would stop the push for it in the state.
