An upcoming election deadline is approaching quickly in Arizona. The deadline for independent presidential write-in candidates to file nomination papers for the general election takes place in two weeks on Aug. 17.

Individuals aiming to run as independent presidential write-in candidates must submit their nomination papers by a specific deadline, often several months before the General Election. Missing this deadline leads to disqualification from the race.
