Arizona Supreme Court gives secretary of state leeway in setting up elections manual

Arizona’s high court says the biennial election rulebook that tells local elections officials how to implement state law doesn’t have to follow the standard rule-making process, reversing an appellate ruling that possibly invalidated the rulebook created in advance of the 2024 election. The Arizona Supreme Court issued an order on Thursday, reversing a March decision from the Arizona Court of Appeals which ruled that Secretary of State Adrian Fontes violated the Arizona Administrative Procedures Act when he didn’t allow enough time for public comment on the 2023 Election Procedures Manual.
