The Arizona Voter Registration Monitoring and Database Access Referendum was not on the ballot in Arizona as a veto referendum on November 8, 2022.
The veto referendum would have repealed Sections 4, 5, 21, 25, and 33 of Senate Bill 1819 (SB 1819), which were designed to allow the legislature and attorney general to give access to the voter registration database to certain entities, require county recorders to file voter registration information with the legislature, and require stamps and codes on ballots, among other changes.[1]

Process in Arizona
In Arizona, the number of signatures required to qualify a veto referendum for the ballot is equal to 5 percent of votes cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election. Signatures for veto referendums are due 90 days following the adjournment of the legislative session at which the targeted bill was approved.
The requirements to get veto referendums certified for the 2022 ballot:
- Signatures: 118,823 valid signatures for referendums targeting bills passed in both the 2023 and 2024 legislative sessions.
- Deadline for 2021 bills: 90 days following adjournment of the 2021 session
- Deadline for 2022 bills: 90 days following adjournment of the 2022 session
If the secretary of state certifies that enough valid signatures were submitted, the veto referendum goes on the next general election ballot.
R-5-2021
The organization Arizona Deserves Better filed the ballot initiative on July 7, 2021.[2] Signatures were not filed for the referendum by the deadline of September 28, 2021.
