Hello, I am calling from a public opinion research firm and I would like to ask you some questions. I
am not trying to sell you anything and I won’t be asking for a contribution of any kind. Can I please
speak with [READ NAME ON LIST]?

Q) There is an initiative that will appear on the 2024 General Election called Proposition 140. It
reads as follows:

All primary election candidates for a given office will have the same signature requirements for ballot
qualification. Eligible voters may vote for candidates regardless of party affiliation. The legislature
may prescribe the number of candidates advancing to the general election. Prohibits using public
monies for political party elections.

A “yes” vote shall have the effect of allowing all eligible voters to vote for any primary election
candidate, regardless of party affiliation; imposing the same signature requirements on all candidates
for a given office who wish to appear on the primary ballot; generally prohibiting the use of public
funds for political party elections; allowing future law to determine how many candidates advance
from the primary election, as well as the process by which candidates are elected at the general
election; and if future law provides that three or more candidates may advance to the general
election for an office to which one candidate will be elected, voter rankings shall be used.

A “no” vote shall have the effect of maintaining current requirements related to primary and general
elections processes.

If the election were today, would you vote yes or no?

Q) Opponents of Proposition 140 argue that it is a sprawling measure that adds 15 separate
amendments to the Arizona constitution to implement California-style election schemes in Arizona
that are confusing, results in candidates from only one political party appearing on the general
election ballot and gives one partisan politician the power to decide how many candidates appear
on the general election ballot.
