The resolution proposes an amendment to Article VII, Section 2 of the Arizona Constitution, which pertains to voting rights. It asserts that every person who is a U.S. citizen, at least eighteen years old, and a resident of Arizona is entitled to vote in general elections and on any questions submitted to the electorate. The amendment emphasizes that the right to vote is a fundamental right, and any law that imposes a burden on this right must be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling governmental interest. Additionally, it clarifies that the term "citizen" includes both males and females, and it extends voting rights equally to all citizens regardless of sex.
Furthermore, the amendment stipulates that individuals adjudicated as incapacitated or convicted of treason are not qualified to vote unless their civil rights are restored. The resolution mandates that the Secretary of State submit this proposition to voters during the next general election, ensuring that the proposed changes are subject to public approval. This amendment aims to enhance the protection of voting rights in Arizona beyond the existing federal guarantees.
