Urge Speaker of the House Ben Toma NOT to bring SCR 1023 to a vote on the house floor.
SCR 1023 would repeal a provision of the Arizona Constitution that dates to territorial days that permits city voters to establish home rule. That enables them to make their own rules on matters of local concerns, such as how the local government is set up and how and when to run elections
Please, contact Rep. Ben Toma (District 27) & ask him not bring this disastrous bill to a vote in the COW.

The GOP legislators want to make it pretty much impossible for us to vote!
Remember all their bills against mail-in voting!?
Remember all their bills against mail-in voting!?
Over 80% of Tucsonans vote by mail. They don't want us to vote in Tucson!
HB2229 would end mail-in voting except for military and overseas voters or voters temporarily living outside of the state. The bill text is straightforward: “Voting by mail is banned in this state.”
Remember these other bills that would make it difficult for us to vote?
HB2231 early absentee voting; limitations; conflicts (Harris: Heap, Jones, et al.) makes early voting into absentee voting and only allows someone to vote early under certain conditions. This would decrease voting significantly.
HB2415 active early voting lists; removal (Biasiucci: Bliss, Carbone) removes voters from the active early voting list if they fail to vote early in one election cycle, instead of two. This will result in a significant purge of this list and in fewer people voting.
SB1141 early ballot drop off; identification (Hoffman: Borrelli, Farnsworth, et al.) requires voter identification to just drop off an early ballot. This is unnecessary and will result in additional disenfranchisement.
SB1566 voter registration; reregistration; ten years (Carroll: Gowan, Kaiser, et al.) Every 10 years everyone's voter registration will be removed from the rolls and they will be required to reregister. A nightmare for voters and the county recorders.
The GOP wants to make the rules - so they can make it impossible for us to vote:
SB1213 legislative council; procedures manual (Kern: Kolodin) substitutes legislative council for the secretary of state relative to the elections procedures manual.

Hmm... Seems like they don't want us to vote... I wonder why?

Sorry for the last minute notice, but this just came together after a pretty awful House Municipal Oversight and Elections Committee meeting last week.
This legislative session, members of the House Municipal Oversight and Elections Committee have continuously pestered and bullied our voting rights allies while allowing testimony from conspiracy theorists dedicated to spreading mis/disinformation. Last week, GOP Rep. Kolodin was especially hostile to one of our advocates. Please join us in attending the March 15, 2023 House Municipal Oversight & Elections Committee to show them we will not be intimidated because democracy belongs to the people!
