The resolution SCR1027 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution, specifically Article VII, Section 11, to mandate that general elections for city, town, and school district officials occur on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November during every even-numbered year. This change aligns local elections with the existing schedule for U.S. Congress and state, county, and precinct elections, which already take place on this date. The resolution aims to streamline the election process and ensure consistency across various levels of government.
If approved by voters, the Secretary of State will be responsible for submitting this proposition at the next general election. The amendment will take effect upon voter approval and the proclamation of the Governor. Importantly, there is no anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
