The Arizona Permanent School Fund Measure is not on the ballot in Arizona as a legislatively referred state statute on November 3, 2026.

Path to the ballot

A simple majority vote is required during one legislative session for the Arizona State Legislature to place a state statute 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. Statutes do not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.

As the House never approved the statute, it was not placed on the 2026 ballot.
