PHOENIX — The Arizona State Legislature extended its 2026 session from the original April 25 adjournment date to June 30, 2026. As of May 2026, 31 potential ballot measures have passed one chamber and await a vote in the other chamber.

Of the 31 measures, 21 are proposed constitutional amendments and 10 are statutes. The legislature can refer both types to the ballot with a simple majority vote in each chamber, and referred statutes do not require the governor's signature. Republicans control both chambers of the legislature.

Five of the proposed measures address education policies. One would require large school districts—those with more than 7,500 students—to spend at least 60% of their budgets on direct instructional expenses. Another would prohibit public school resources from supporting labor organizations. Additional education measures would restrict the use of student pronouns or names not matching official records without written parental consent, ban access to private facilities inconsistent with a student's sex, and modify state scholarships for students in the Arizona Teachers Academy. One proposed constitutional amendment would prohibit government agencies, including public education systems, from requiring written or oral statements supporting 'race-based diversity, equity and inclusion or intersectionality in contemporary American society' beyond the 14th Amendment.

Ten ballot proposals focus on election policies. These include a measure to enshrine voter identification requirements in the state constitution, prohibit foreign nationals from contributing to ballot measure campaigns, and ban governments from using foreign donations for election administration. Other election measures would move the early ballot return deadline to the Friday before Election Day, limit precinct sizes to 2,500 voters while ending vote centers, and require paid petition circulators to disclose their residency and wear identifying badges. One proposal would establish a state census counting only U.S. citizens for redistricting, and another would expand the redistricting commission from five to nine members.

Eleven measures concern government structure and operations. These include increasing the mandatory judicial retirement age from 70 to 75, allowing impeachment for failing to enforce state laws or court rules, and moving the legislative session start date to the fourth Monday in January. One measure would withhold salaries from the governor and legislators if a budget is not signed by April 30. Others would require legislative candidates to reside in their district for at least one year, mandate audits of the Medicaid agency, and annually adjust legislative salaries for inflation.

Additional proposals would provide a constitutional right to refuse government-mandated medical treatments, prohibit photo traffic enforcement systems, allow death row inmates to choose execution methods, and exempt virtual currency from state property tax.
