Prohibit Race- or Ethnicity-Based Preferential Treatment, Public Education Offices, and Disciplinary Policies Amendment
Arizona · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Prohibit the government from requiring an individual to endorse preferential treatment toward or discrimination against an individual on the basis of race or ethnicity
A yes vote means
The government cannot require anyone to endorse or support preferential treatment based on race or ethnicity in schools, hiring, or discipline policies.
A no vote means
The government can continue to require people to endorse or support race- or ethnicity-based preferential treatment policies if it chooses to do so.
Simple explanation
This measure is about whether the government can require people to support giving special treatment to some groups based on their race or ethnicity. Think of it like asking: should the government be able to tell you that you have to publicly agree with favoring certain people over others based on their background?
