Arizona Voters Defeat Two Measures That Would Have Curtailed Statewide Initiative Process

Posted on by November 8, 2024

On November 5, Arizona voters defeated two ballot measures that would have curtailed the statewide initiative process. Measure 134 would have required a significant number of signatures in each of the 30 state legislative districts. Currently there is no distribution requirement for initiative petitions.

Measure 136 would have permitted the state courts to decide that a proposed initiative is illegal or unconstitutional, before voters had voted on it. Currently if an initiative gets enough valid signatures, it goes on the ballot, and only if it passes can anyone sue to show that the measure is unconstitutional or illegal.
