Origin |
The Arizona Disclosure to Potential Initiative Petition Signers Requirements Measure (2026) may be on the ballot in Arizona as a legislatively referred state statute on November 3, 2026.
The measure would make changes to the approved process for gathering signatures for an initiative petition. The measure would require paid circulators to state their state of residency and their status as a paid circulator when they approach an individual to request that they sign the petition. Additionally, paid circulators would be required to wear a clearly visible badge that states the same.[1]
The measure would also include local measures in the statewide requirements for initiative and referendum petitions. As of 2026, most statewide laws govern only requirements for statewide initiatives. The measure would include local measures in those standing laws. [1]
The measure would require any local initiative that proposes a mandatory expenditure or allocates funding for a specified purpose to include in the initiative description a statement disclosing the source of revenue for the proposal.[1]
