Voters enter Marion Donaldson Elementary School during the 2022 primary election.

Proposition 128, the ballot initiative that would allow Arizonaโ€™s Legislature to divert funds from voter-approved initiatives, failed with about 63% of votes tabulated denying the measure,ย according to unofficial election results from the Arizona Secretary of Stateโ€™s office.

Proposition 128 would have allowed the Legislature to amend, supersede or divert funds from voter-approved initiatives if the Arizona or U.S. Supreme Court determines the measure is illegal or unconstitutional.

Currently, the Legislature cannot amend voter-approved initiatives unless the changes further the purpose of the measure and are passed with a 75% majority.
