ballot measures; descriptive title; summary
Arizona's HB 2508 requires ballot measures to include clear, plain-language descriptions of their effects. Specifically, it mandates that each measure's ballot summary must state exactly what a "yes" vote would do and what a "no" vote would do, using brief phrases approved by the attorney general. This applies to all state ballot measures, including initiatives and referendums, and replaces vague titles with direct explanations of outcomes. The bill ensures voters understand the practical impact of each measure before casting their ballot, as required by law.
