In this episode of the Better Together Arizona podcast, ONE Community President & Co-Founder Angela Hughey is joined by Executive Director of the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission, Tom Collins.
Angela and Tom discuss AZ Prop 133, a 2024 Arizona ballot measure proposing partisan primaries for partisan offices. This is a proposed constitutional amendment put forth by the legislature and would require partisan primaries elections for partisan offices. Prop 133 is a direct rebuttal response to Prop 140, the Make Elections Fair Act.
Nearly 34% of registered voters in Arizona are registered as Independent and can select a partisan ballot in current Arizona primary elections.
❌ Arguments against Prop 133: This measure is designed to derail the Make Elections Fair Act (Prop 140). By constitutionalizing partisan primaries, this measure makes it harder for Arizonans to pass responsive election reforms.
✅ Arguments for Prop 133: This measure will preserve our current primary system for partisan offices. The proposal supports the right of people to associate with the party of their choice.
