Eight Statewide Ballot Measures Set for Arizona’s November Election
Arizona Voters Will Decide the Outcome of These Eight Measures
Voters will have eight ballot measures to consider when they head to the polls on November 3rd, following a recent series of Arizona Supreme Court decisions that finalized the list. The measures span a wide range of issues, including elections, education, taxes, transportation, public safety, and the use of photo-enforcement cameras.
- Proposition 141: Prohibits state and local governments from imposing taxes or fees based on the number of miles a motor vehicle travels and restricts monitoring or limiting vehicle mileage without the owner’s consent.
- Proposition 142: Prohibits government entities, including public schools and universities, from providing preferential treatment based on race or ethnicity and restricts certain diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
- Proposition 143: Requires school districts to direct at least 60% of certain operational spending toward classroom instruction and places restrictions on the use of district resources for labor organizations.
- Proposition 144: Establishes additional constitutional requirements related to voter citizenship and identification, including new identification requirements for certain forms of voting.
- Proposition 316: Prohibits cities and towns from imposing or increasing taxes on food without voter approval and limits the rate of certain local food taxes.
- Proposition 317: Designates drug cartels as terrorist organizations under Arizona law and expands the state’s legal framework for addressing cartel-related activity.
- Proposition 318: Establishes restrictions on participation in certain interscholastic and intramural athletic programs based on biological sex.
- Proposition 319: Requires voter approval before many local governments can establish or expand photo-enforcement systems, with certain exceptions.
Two other proposed measures that were previously headed toward the ballot were removed following court challenges.
