Arizona Senate president threatens to sue secretary of state over elections manual
PHOENIX — The senate president of the Arizona legislature says he might sue Secretary of State Adrian Fontes over election law.
On Monday, Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen issued a public demand of Fontes to change his draft of the state’s 2025 Elections Procedures Manual.
Petersen is accusing Fontes of allowing unlawful provisions to be in the manual, which is a resource and rulebook about how elections are carried out in Arizona counties. It must be approved by the Arizona governor and attorney general to take effect.
“The Elections Procedures Manual cannot be used as a vehicle to rewrite Arizona law,” Petersen said in a Monday announcement.
