The resolution SCR1022 seeks to amend the Arizona Constitution to establish a more independent and structured process for redistricting legislative districts. It mandates that the Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC) conduct a census every decade, specifically in years ending in zero, to determine legislative districts based on the citizen population rather than total population. To support this initiative, the resolution creates the State Census Fund, which will receive annual transfers of $5 million from the Citizens Clean Elections Fund. The IRC is required to complete the census by December 31 of each decade-ending year and must include a count of U.S. citizens residing in Arizona. If the census is not completed on time, the IRC will rely on the most current U.S. Census Bureau data for legislative mapping.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the importance of accurate representation and the principle of "one person, one vote," asserting that only U.S. citizens should participate in elections. It outlines the formation of an independent redistricting commission composed of five members to ensure political balance and impartiality in the redistricting process. The resolution also grants any member of the Legislature the authority to enforce compliance with the census and mapping requirements. This amendment will be presented to voters in the next general election and will only take effect if approved by the electorate and proclaimed by the Governor.
