Super-sized ballots in 2024? Maybe.

It’s the home stretch of the legislative session. Maybe. Lawmakers
are running out of bills to vote on, and budget talks are slogging
along behind closed doors. The House is in the midst of a two-week
break. But there is one exception to this very unhurried schedule:
Ballot referrals. These are proposed laws that go directly to the
voters, avoiding the governor and her veto stamp. Others are
amendments to the state Constitution, which require a vote of the
people. This month, two new referrals popped up like blooms on a
saguaro cactus. Why are these measures showing up months into the
legislative session?  In this episode of The Gaggle,
host Mary Jo Pitzl is joined by Paul Bentz, pollster
for the political consulting firm HighGround. Together they
discuss what might find its way onto the ballot this year and why
Arizonans could expect a longer-than-normal ballot. Learn more
