The Impact Of Ballot Measures In Arizona

It’s common for Arizona's ballots to have a significant number of initiatives — some come from the Legislature, others through grassroots efforts.

What’s the broader impact of ballot measures on Arizona and how common or uncommon is it for proposed policy shifts to go to voters across the country?

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
