Arizona Supreme Court

Judith K Lohr v. Shawnna Bolick

September 8, 2020249 Ariz. 428

Summary

The court held that the candidate substantially complied with statutory requirements for her nomination paper and partisan nomination petitions by using a private mailbox address located in the same jurisdiction as her actual residence. The address did not substantially comply with the separate requirement that a petition circulator provide an actual residence address because that information enables service of process and verification of signatures. The court therefore left the candidate on the ballot while invalidating 290 signatures from paper petitions she circulated herself.
