ballot measures; descriptive title; summary

HB 2469 requires Arizona's secretary of state to provide an impartial, 50-word summary for each ballot measure, including specific "yes" and "no" effect statements (e.g., "A 'yes' vote will [change]"). These summaries must be approved by the attorney general and posted online 30 days before ballots are printed. The bill mandates that the official ballot display these summaries below the measure number, alongside the "yes/no" effect statements in clear, accessible language. It directly affects voters by improving transparency about ballot measure impacts and election officials who must implement these formatting and posting requirements. The changes apply to all statewide statutory measures, including initiatives and referendums.
