In the aftermath of the 2024 general election, Arizona voters have made several significant decisions that will shape the state's policies and governance.

### Key Ballot Propositions

- **Proposition 139**: Arizona voters have approved a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to abortion in the state constitution up to fetal viability, typically around 21 weeks. This is a major victory for abortion rights advocates.
- **Proposition 314**: Voters have approved a measure allowing local police to arrest migrants suspected of illegally entering the state from Mexico, which expands state-level immigration enforcement.

Other notable propositions include:
- **Proposition 138**: This measure, which aimed to increase wages for tipped workers, did not pass.
- **Proposition 140**: The proposal for open primary elections was also rejected by voters.

### Local and County Elections

- In Pima County, voters in the Town of Sahuarita rejected a bond election (Prop. 403) aimed at funding parks, police, and public safety, but approved utility franchise agreements (Props. 404-407).
- In South Tucson, voters approved measures to set the town’s alternative expenditure limit (Prop. 408) and to issue bonds for fire department vehicles and equipment (Prop. 409).
- School bond and override elections in various districts, such as Continental Elementary School District, Marana Unified School District, and Amphitheater Unified School District, are narrowly passing.

### State and Federal Races

- The race for the U.S. Senate in Arizona remains too close to call, with Democrat Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake by nearly 60,000 votes.
- In the presidential race, Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris in Arizona by nearly 130,000 votes, though national results are still being finalized.
- In the 8th Congressional District, Republican Abe Hamade is projected to win with more than 55% of the vote, according to the Associated Press.

### Outlook for the Next 24 Hours

As the counting of votes continues, several races remain undecided. Here are a few key areas to watch:
- **U.S. Senate Race**: The outcome of the Senate race between Gallego and Lake will be closely monitored as more votes are counted.
- **Maricopa County Races**: While Democrats have conceded in the races for Maricopa County Sheriff and Recorder, the Associated Press has not yet called these races, indicating that official results may still change.
- **Finalization of Ballot Propositions**: Although many propositions have been called, any remaining close races will be finalized as all votes are tallied.

In summary, Arizona voters have made significant decisions on abortion rights, immigration enforcement, and local governance, while several key state and federal races are still awaiting final results. The next 24 hours will be crucial in determining the outcomes of these closely contested elections.
