If passed, Proposition 133 would amend the Arizona Constitution to ensure that any legislature-enacted direct primary election law would override city charters, laws, ordinances, or policies. It also changes the requirements for candidates in direct primary elections.
This measure forces taxpayers to fund primary elections for major political parties, including those not affiliated with these parties, such as independents. It also infringes on cities' ability to manage local elections in a way that best fits their communities and ends their ability to run nonpartisan elections.
By imposing a legislatively mandated system, local governments would lose the flexibility to establish election rules tailored to their specific needs. This top-down approach weakens local control and sets a dangerous precedent of increased legislative control over local governments. The added bureaucracy of a state-mandated election process could complicate election administration, leading to inefficiencies and confusion as local officials attempt to navigate conflicting mandates between state and local policies.
Vote No on Proposition 133 to protect Arizona’s primary elections from legislative control and ensure voters are able to choose general election candidates who truly represent their values.
