Ballot summary
The official ballot summary is as follows:
“A "yes" vote shall have the effect of amending the Arizona Constitution to require direct primary elections for all partisan offices to be conducted in a manner prescribed by the Legislature, notwithstanding any city law, regulation, or policy to the contrary. The primaries would be conducted in a manner so that each political party represented on the ballot may nominate for each office a number of candidates equal to the number of positions to be filled for that office in the ensuing general election, and all otherwise eligible candidates who were nominated be placed on the ballot for the next general election.
A "no" vote shall have the effect of keeping the current laws related to partisan primary elections.

Ballot summary
The official ballot summary is as follows:
“A "yes" vote shall have the effect of amending the Arizona Constitution to require an applicant wishing to place a measure on the ballot to collect a certain percentage of signatures in each of the 30 legislative districts. Signatures from 10% of the voters in each district would be required for a statewide initiative to appear on the ballot. Signatures from 15% of the voters in each district would be required for an amendment to the Arizona Constitution to appear on the ballot. Signatures from 5% of the voters in each district would be required for a statewide referendum to appear on the ballot. If a proposed measure does not obtain the minimum percentage of signatures in any one of the 30 legislative districts, it would fail to qualify for the ballot, and would not be presented to voters.
