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.

  • The measure, SCR 1030, was introduced to the Arizona State Senate on March 6, 2025.[1]
  • The measure passed the Senate on March 6, 2025 by a 17-9 vote.[1]

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