Require Schools and Athletic Associations to Restrict Use of Restrooms, Locker Rooms, and Other Private Spaces Based on Sex Measure
Arizona · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Prohibit schools and athletic associations from allowing a student, athlete, employee, or other individual from using a restroom, locker room, shower room, or other private space that is not designated for their sex
A yes vote means
Schools and athletic associations would be required to restrict bathroom, locker room, and shower access based on biological sex.
A no vote means
Schools and athletic associations would keep their current policies for bathroom and locker room access without this new requirement.
Simple explanation
This measure is about bathroom and locker room rules at schools. It would require that bathrooms, locker rooms, and similar private spaces be designated and used based on someone's sex (male or female), rather than allowing individuals to choose based on their gender identity.
