P.L.A.N. Update - 9th Special Session Over and Done‏

On the Third Day

On Wednesday, the 49th Legislature adjourned its Ninth Special Session. Legislators spent three days debating and ultimately approving a ballot measure for November’s General Election that would require secret balloting to establish an employee union. The Legislature had approved a similar ballot referral last year, SCR 1026, that was determined by the Arizona Supreme Court to violate the Arizona Constitution's "single subject" rule. Senate Concurrent Resolution
SCR1001 will now appear on November’s ballot as Proposition 113. Ballot Propositions are posted on the Secretary of State's Web site. No other special sessions are anticipated in the near term.

Ballot Tabulation Rooms - Live Streaming Video

Here is a new feature you may find interesting -- the
Secretary of State's Office now provides live streaming video for ballot tabulating by county. The live video feed of Maricopa County's Ballot Tabulation Center is only available for federal and state elections. The next opportunity to use this new technology and watch the tabulation is the upcoming August 24, 2010 Primary Election.
