Equity (law)

Arizona's November general election ballot is set after a series of court rulings, with eight measures referred by the Republican-controlled Legislature going before voters. Two competing school voucher reform proposals were removed following Arizona Supreme Court decisions, leaving the Empowerment Scholarship Account program off this year's ballot. A separate challenge to Proposition 144's ballot description, over claims it was misleading, was rejected by the court.

The measures voters will decide include Proposition 141 (banning car mileage taxes), Proposition 142 (expanding anti-DEI restrictions in government and schools), Proposition 144 (voter ID and election administration rules), Proposition 316 (grocery tax restrictions), Proposition 317 (designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations), Proposition 318 (restricting transgender student athletes and bathroom access), Proposition 319 (requiring voter approval for photo-radar enforcement), and Proposition 320 (mandating minimum classroom spending by school districts). Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, cannot veto legislatively referred ballot measures, a dynamic that has shaped how Republican lawmakers advance policy in the state. Voters will receive additional informational pamphlets ahead of the election.
