Arizona Proposed Referendum Election Amendment (2012)

Not on Ballot
This measure did not or will not appear on a ballot

The Arizona Proposed Referendum Election Amendment did not make the 2012 ballot in the state of Arizona as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. The measure was proposed during 2011 state legislative session by multiple state representatives. If sent to a public vote and enacted by voters, the measure would have required referendums referred to the ballot by the Arizona Legislature to be placed in the next statewide primary election, instead of the statewide general election. The formal title of the measure in legislative session was HCR 2036.
