HCR2033 is a resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of Arizona, specifically Article VII, Section 10, concerning primary elections. The purpose of the resolution is to ensure that a direct primary election law enacted by the Legislature will supersede any contrary or inconsistent provisions of any city charter, law, ordinance, rule, resolution, or policy. The amendment would modify the nominee requirements for a direct primary election, allowing each political party that has qualified for representation on the ballot to nominate a number of candidates equal to the positions available for each office in the ensuing general election. All eligible candidates who are nominated would then be placed on the ballot for the general election.

The resolution requires the Secretary of State to submit the proposition to the voters at the next general election. If approved by the voters and proclaimed by the Governor, the amendment would become effective. The resolution has no anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund. The resolution passed the House on March 1, 2023, and the Senate on March 28, 2023, and was filed in the Office of the Secretary of State on March 28, 2023.
