The resolution SCR1020 aims to reform the electoral process for initiatives, referendums, and the election of judges in Arizona. If passed by voters, it would require that all initiatives and referendums be placed on the official ballot during the November elections of odd-numbered years, rather than the next general election. Additionally, all superior court judges would be elected in odd-numbered years, regardless of county population size. The resolution also proposes the repeal of the current nomination processes for judicial vacancies and eliminates the requirement for judges to file a declaration of desire to be retained in office, thereby removing the retention evaluation process. Furthermore, it stipulates that judges running for any elective office other than a superior court judge would lose their judicial position.

In addition to changes in the electoral process, the resolution seeks to amend the Arizona Constitution regarding the legislative authority and the procedures for initiatives and referendums. It clarifies the powers of the people to propose laws and constitutional amendments, outlines the requirements for initiating measures, and specifies the governor's veto power concerning tax initiatives that receive substantial voter support. The resolution also addresses various aspects of the judiciary, including the election and appointment of judges, their eligibility for other public offices, and retirement age. The Secretary of State is responsible for presenting this proposition to voters at the next general election, ensuring public input on these significant changes.
