2024 Proposition Guide

This November, Arizona voters will make decisions on their ballot that impact the freedom, rights, and liberties of generations to come. Along with voting for candidates at every level of government, here’s what else you can expect.

The length of Arizona’s 2024 ballot is record-breaking – voters across the state will see two pages of  candidates for political office, justices to consider for retention, and propositions to vote for this November. Everything on your ballot is important, especially when it comes to advancing civil rights and liberties for all Arizonans. Make sure you read through your options carefully and fill out your ballot to the end! 

Be prepared this election:

  • Mark your calendar with important election dates and deadlines.

ACLU of Arizona’s 2024 Proposition Guide

Below is the ACLU of Arizona’s summary and position on ten propositions that we believe will have a significant impact on civil liberties and rights in Arizona. 

Proposition Description Position

Prop. 139

Enshrines the right to abortion in the Arizona State Constitution, and ensures Arizonans have the freedom to make important decisions about pregnancy and abortion – not politicians.

Support
Prop. 133

Bans cities and towns from choosing non-partisan elections by requiring partisan primary elections and prohibiting primary elections where all candidates, regardless of political party affiliation, run in the same primary election. This proposition would prevent Arizona communities from deciding what types of elections work best for them, adversely impacting democracy. 

Oppose
Prop. 134

Makes it more costly and difficult to get voter-initiated ballot measures on the ballot by adding a signature distribution requirement based on state legislative districts.

Oppose
Prop. 136

Undermines voter-initiated ballot measures by allowing special interests, corporate lobbyists, and the state legislature to bring costly litigation against a petition before it even has a chance to reach the voters.

Oppose
Prop. 137

Eliminates Arizona voters’ power to retain or remove Arizona Supreme Court justices and superior court judges from the bench upending fundamental, democratic principles of judicial accountability and independence. 

Learn More

Oppose
Prop. 138 A pay cut for tipped workers, allowing employers to reduce their wages to 25% less per hour than the minimum wage provided that the worker's total compensation was not less than the minimum wage plus $2. This proposition would increase inequity in the workforce, especially for groups of tipped workers who already lack adequate protections. Oppose
Prop. 311

Creates new mandatory-minimum sentences for a variety of crimes that will increase Arizona’s prison population and removes discretion from judges to determine sentences. This proposition is also duplicative of Arizona’s criminal restitution laws. 

Oppose
Prop. 312

Further criminalizes homelessness, forces cities and towns to act in ways that violate the rights of unhoused people, allows corporations to avoid paying taxes, and threatens the financial well-being of our state.

Oppose
Prop. 313

Removes discretion from judges and courts to set sentences to require a life sentence for anyone convicted of a sex trafficking offense involving a minor, even if they themselves are a victim of sex trafficking.

Oppose
Prop. 314

A costly and inhumane proposal that empowers state and local law enforcement to target individuals based on their assumed immigration status, encourages racial profiling, and violates the  rights of immigrants and asylum seekers.
