No. 21.

A Proposition Relative to Primary Elections.

Introduced by Mr. A. C. Baker, of Maricopa County.

It is hereby proposed:

Section 1. The General Assembly, at its first session, shall enact a primary election law, under which all nominations for elective public officers, including members of Congress, shall be made by organized political parties, and thereafter no candidates of any political party having and maintaining a party organization shall be voted for at any general election without having first been chosen as a candidate at such primary; but the nomination of municipal officers may be otherwise made when authorized by law.

Sec. 2. The General Assembly, at its first session, shall make provision for the nomination of candidates for elective public offices by the petition of electors, where such candidates are not chosen by organized political parties.

Sec. 3. The General Assembly, at its first session, shall enact a law whereby at the general election last preceding a vacancy in the office of United States Senator, the electors of the state at large may express their choice for the office of Senator to fill such vacancy; and it may be provided by law that those whose names are printed upon the ballot as candidates for such office, shall first be nominated by their respective parties at the last preceding primary, or shall be nominated by petition.
