Path to the ballot
A simple majority vote is required during one legislative session for the Arizona State Legislature to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 31 votes in the Arizona House of Representatives and 16 votes in the Arizona State Senate, assuming no vacancies. Amendments do not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 1006
Below is a timeline of SCR 1006 in the Arizona legislature:[1]
- January 22, 2025: State Sen. David Gowan (R-19) introduced SCR 1006 to the Arizona State Senate.
- March 6, 2025: SCR 1006 passed the Senate by a 16-10 vote. Sixteen Republicans voted yes, and nine Democrats and one Republican voted no. Four Democrats did not vote.
- March 27, 2025: The House Land, Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee advanced SCR 1006 with a Do Pass recommendation in a vote of 5-4. Five Republicans voted yes and three Democrats and one Republican voted no.
As the House never approved the amendment, it was not placed on the 2026 ballot.
