The Arizona Remove Voters from Early Voting List Referendum was not on the ballot in Arizona as a veto referendum on November 8, 2022.

The veto referendum would have repealed Senate Bill 1485 (SB 1485), which was designed to remove voters from the state's early voting list (mail-in ballots) if they did not vote in all primary and general elections for two consecutive election cycles. SB 1485 renamed the permanent early voting list (PEVL) to the active early voting list (AEVL).[1]
