Abortion rights constitutional measures to be voted on in November in Arizona and Montana.

• Abortion rights will be enshrined in the constitutions of Arizona and Montana through proposals on the November ballots.
• The outcome of the presidential and congressional races in those states could potentially be affected by the rewritten content.
• This fall, Arizona and Montana are among the seven states with abortion rights measures on their ballots.

Abortion rights could be enshrined in the constitutions of Arizona and Montana in November, which may impact the presidential and congressional races in those states.

On Tuesday, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the summary used to gather signatures for the ballot measure was valid, allowing the measure to proceed as planned.

On Tuesday, Montana's Secretary of State's Office confirmed that abortion rights supporters had gathered enough signatures to place a measure on the ballot.

This fall, Arizona and Montana will join other states in having abortion rights measures on their ballots.

Arizona is considered a key swing state in the 2024 presidential election.

In 2016, President Joe Biden's narrow win in Arizona against then-President Donald Trump contributed to the Democrat's Electoral College victory.

In Montana, Democrat Senator Jon Tester, who has been in office for three terms, is facing a tough challenge from Republican nominee Tim Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL. If Sheehy defeats Tester, it could help Republicans gain a majority in the Senate.

In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed its 50-year-old decision in Roe v. Wade, which established a federal constitutional right to abortion.

The Supreme Court, with the support of three justices appointed by President Trump, made a decision that allowed states to impose their own limitations on access to abortion.

The decision was also attributed to negatively impacting the election prospects of Republican congressional candidates in 2022.

In seven states where abortion rights were put to a vote, the measures were approved, including in conservative areas.
