Arizona Proposition 108 was on the ballot as an initiated constitutional amendment in Arizona on November 3, 1992. It was approved.

A "yes" vote supported this constitutional amendment to:

  • require a two-thirds vote of each legislative chamber to pass legislation that increases state revenue through taxes or changes how tax revenues are distributed among local governments and
  • require a three-fourths vote of each legislative chamber to override a governor's veto of a bill to increase state revenue.

A "no" vote opposed this constitutional amendment, thus continuing to require a simple majority vote to pass legislation to increase state revenue through taxes and a two-thirds vote to override a governor's veto of such a bill.
