Score a potential victory for the power and will of the people.
Despite a recent court challenge that may result in the disqualification of thousands of signatures, the Arizona Fair Elections Initiative appears poised to go on the November 8, 2022, ballot as Proposition 210.
In a letter to Governor Ducey’s office and a certificate sent to Arizonans for Free and Fair Elections, the Secretary of State’s office confirmed that 298,878 valid signatures were collected of the 399,838 signatures submitted.
2022 0823 I-16-2022 Letter to Governor – Prop 210[1]
2022 0823 I-16-2022 Final Receipt and Certificate[3]
With a minimum requirement of 237,645, the Arizona Fair Elections Initiative will qualify for the November ballot if court challenges to remove it are unsuccessful.
Commenting on this result from the Secretary of State’s office, Stacy Pearson of Lumen Strategies, stated:
“…Legal challenges/appeals are expected to conclude Thursday. But short of the Arizona Supreme Court overriding validation work done by 14 county recorders and the Secretary of State, and overturning lower court decisions, Fair Elections will be on the ballot as Prop. 210.”
If submitted to the November 8, 2022 ballot, Arizonans will have a chance to:
- Block the Legislature from overturning the results of presidential elections:
- Expands voter access by extending early voting and access to any polling site.
- Lobbying reform.
- Make it easier to file ballot initiatives.
- Remain on PEVL (mail ballots) if they like.
- Register to vote and update their voter information when they obtain a driver’s license.
- Allows same-day voter registration and voting.
Keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned for the next 44 hours. Nothing can be taken for granted with this State Supreme Court.
