constitutional right to vote
HCR 2028 proposes amending Arizona's constitution to establish voting as a fundamental right. It guarantees that eligible U.S. citizens aged 18+ who reside in Arizona can vote in all elections, explicitly including "persons of the male and female sex" in voting rights. The amendment requires any law restricting voting to be "narrowly tailored" to serve a compelling government interest, offering stronger protections than the federal Equal Protection Clause. It also bars voting for people adjudicated incapacitated or convicted of treason/felony (unless civil rights are restored), while preserving existing voter qualifications.
