The Arizona Supreme Court will review a voter initiative rolling back election law changes and expanding voting access on the ballot.
PHOENIX — The Arizona Supreme Court will review a lower court’s decision to keep a voter initiative rolling back Republican-backed election law changes and expanding voting access on the ballot and could decide to block it after all.
It's final decision on the fate of the measure could come at any time after attorneys for the initiative and challengers respond at 1 p.m. They also ruled in many of the signature challenges levied against the election measure, but sent it back to Mikitish to do the final math. He ruled Thursday afternoon that the measure had barely enough valid signatures.
The Free and Fair Elections measure changes a slew of election laws. It specifically blocks the Legislature from overturning the results of presidential elections, an avenue some Republicans explored after former President Donald Trump’s loss in the state in 2020. The measure also would eliminate the “strict compliance” legal standard that led Mikitish to disqualify many of the petition sheets. The GOP-controlled Legislature required that standard for initiatives in 2017, making it easier to throw them out for relatively minor paperwork errors.
