Summary of HCR 2014: House of Representatives; Designated Seats

Purpose and Intent

HCR 2014 is a concurrent resolution that would amend the Arizona Constitution to change the way state House of Representatives districts are drawn. The key purpose of the bill is to establish a system of designated seats within each House district, rather than allowing voters to choose any two representatives.

Key Provisions

The main changes HCR 2014 would make are:

  1. Dividing each House district into two designated seats, labeled "Seat A" and "Seat B".
  2. Requiring candidates to run for a specific seat (A or B) within their district, rather than allowing them to run for any two seats.
  3. Prohibiting voters from splitting their two House votes between the A and B seats in a district.

Affected Parties

If enacted, HCR 2014 would impact:

  • Candidates running for the Arizona House of Representatives, who would need to declare for a specific seat.
  • Voters, who would be limited to casting both of their House votes for candidates in the same designated seat.
  • The Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, which would need to draw House district boundaries with the new designated seat structure in mind.

Procedural and Timeline Details

HCR 2014 was introduced in the Arizona House of Representatives on February 24, 2025 and is currently awaiting a second reading.

If passed by the Legislature, the resolution would then be placed on the next general election ballot for approval by Arizona voters, as amendments to the state constitution require direct voter approval.
