Arizona SCR1049 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow death row inmates to choose their method of execution, including firing squad.

Arizona SCR1049 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution to allow death row inmates to choose their method of execution. If the inmate does not choose, lethal injection is the default. The amendment also mandates that death by firing squad be conducted by a minimum of three volunteer shooters, including one blank round. If the inmate murdered a law enforcement officer and knew or should have known the officer was acting in their line of duty, firing squad is the mandatory method. The Secretary of State would submit this proposition to voters at the next general election.
