Bill > HCR2024

This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution to explicitly declare the right to vote as a fundamental right, meaning any law restricting it must be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling government interest and offers stronger protection than the federal Equal Protection Clause. It also clarifies that all citizens meeting age and residency requirements are entitled to vote, removes outdated language about sex-based voting rights, and specifies that individuals adjudicated incapacitated or convicted of treason will not be qualified to vote, while also removing the previous provision that allowed felons to vote if restored to civil rights. The resolution will be put before the voters at the next general election for their approval.
