The Arizona Emergency Declarations Amendment was not on the ballot in Arizona as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on November 8, 2022.
The ballot measure would have empowered the Arizona State Legislature to terminate the governor's emergency declaration by concurrent resolution. The ballot measure would have also required the governor to call a special legislative session within 10 days of issuing an emergency declaration so that the legislature can vote on whether to extend or terminate the governor's declaration or issue legislative orders.[1]

In Arizona, a constitutional amendment requires a simple majority vote in each chamber of the Arizona State Legislature during one legislative session.
The constitutional amendment was introduced into the Arizona State Legislature as Senate Concurrent Resolution 1003 (SCR 1003) during the 2021 legislative session. On February 10, 2021, the Arizona State Senate voted 16-14 to approve the constitutional amendment. The Arizona House of Representatives voted 31-25 to pass an amended version of SCR 1003 on June 25, 2021. House Republicans supported SCR 1003, and House Democrats opposed the constitutional amendment. Since SCR 1003 was amended, the resolution was returned to the Senate. On June 30, 2021, the Senate voted 13-15, leading to the constitutional amendment's defeat. Senate Democrats, along with three Republicans, voted against the proposal. The remaining 13 Republicans voted for the constitutional amendment. The three Senate Republicans who voted for the prior version of SCR 1003 but against the final version were Tyler Pace (R-25), T.J. Shope (R-8), and Michelle Ugenti-Rita (R-23).[1]
