Supreme Court orders GOP to rewrite ‘argumentative’ voucher measure summary

The Arizona Supreme Court shot down a request from Republican lawmakers to preserve their summary of the voucher-regulating Protect Education Act in a voter education pamphlet, ruling that the description violates state law because it tries to sway voters against the initiative. 

The Protect Education Act, which will be on November’s ballots as Proposition 212, would overhaul the state’s universal private school voucher system. Among other things, it seeks to add an income eligibility cap, crack down on voucher misuse and require schools that accept vouchers to meet certain educational and safety requirements

The ruling was the Arizona Supreme Court upholding an initial ruling handed down in Maricopa County Superior Court.

The case there was CV2026-029280.

Information is available here.


On Wednesday, 8/19 and Thursday, 8/20 - Nada.
