What is on your 2024 ballot? Here's a cheat sheet for Arizonans
Amanda LubertoEarly voting ballots began being mailed out on Oct. 7, and as you may have heard, they're quite big this year. “Big” as in two sheets of paper with races, judges and ballot questions to mark on all four sides.
Taking up a lot of the ballot’s real estate are 13 propositions. From abortion rights to worker tips, arguments for and against the propositions fill up more than 300 pages in the state’s official Publicity Pamphlet.
And the language can get confusing. Plan to spend more time than usual in the voting booth, or around the kitchen table, as you work through this ballot.
This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl try to simplify the most high profile ballot propositions to make them easier to understand.
Republic reporter StaceyBarchenger joins The Gaggle to talk through Proposition 139, the Arizona Abortion Access initiative and Proposition 137, which would end term limits for judges − two topics she's been closely covering.
