Prop 134 - Arizona Ballot Initiatives 2024 - Better Together Arizona
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 134, a measure that would change the signature requirements for voter-proposed initiatives, making it more difficult to get them on the ballot. Proposition 134 would require an equal percentage of signatures from all 30 districts. 62% of Arizonans live in Maricopa County with another 15% in Pima County.
❌ Arguments against Prop 134: This measure would dramatically change the way signatures are gathered for citizen-led initiatives and make it more difficult to get them on the ballot.
✅ Arguments for Prop 134: Currently there is no requirement for geographic distribution of support for initiative signature gathering. This concentrates signature gathering in dense urban areas. A broader requirement will mean initiatives have to show broad support.
