Get StartedA "yes" vote shall have the effect of amending the constitution to create the office of Lieutenant Governor beginning with the 2026 election; requiring that a nominee for Governor name a nominee for Lieutenant Governor to be jointly elected; replacing the Secretary of State with the Lieutenant Governor as first in the line of succession to the office of Governor; and provide that the Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Attorney General, and Superintendent of Public Instruction may succeed to the office of Governor regardless of whether they were elected.

"While not the first time the office of Lt. Governor has been before the voters, it's never been presented in this form. The "ticket" model is familiar to people and employed by most states. It would create better continuity and predictability within our government, providing voters greater confidence when selecting an administration. Please vote yes to establish a Lt. Governor for Arizona. Its time has come." - Arizona State Senators J.D. Mesnard and Sean Bowie, in support of Proposition 131 (Learn more)
"The League of Women Voters of Arizona supports this amendment to strengthen the executive branch of state government, and to integrate its administration by centralizing authority and responsibility in the governor's office. The League of Women Voters of Arizona believes that a clear line of succession in the Executive Branch of the State of Arizona should be more obvious to the public than it is in the current system where the Secretary of State assumes the role of Governor in times of absence, removal, resignation, death or other such changes." - Pinny Sheoran, President of the League of Women Voters of Arizona, sponsored by League of Women Voters of Arizona, in support of Proposition 131 (Learn more)
"A chief of staff is an unelected appointee, not a politician. That person wields an immense amount of power behind the scenes and is ultimately accountable to no one but the governor. This setup could permit an appalling amount of cronyism and shady dealing." - Civic Engagement Beyond Voting, in opposition to Proposition 131 (Learn more)
