Arizona already utilizes this often to bypass state Republicans refusing to do their jobs correctly.
So much so that they keep having their lawsuits to invalidate the measures that pass thrown out by the same Supreme Court making this decision.
It would be funny if it wasn't such a complete waste of time, taxpayer money, and manpower.
There actually was an effort to get a ballot initiative on the 2022 state election, but due to narrow timing between the Supreme Court overturning RvW and the pre-established deadline, it didn’t make it. I would be surprised if a similar initiative isn’t on the 2024 ballot, and it would almost certainly pass.
As of April 2nd it has about 100k more signatures than it needed to make the ballot.

Excellent, this may be the one thing worth voting for this November
You...don't think there might be another important election in November?
There are other elections but few with candidates worth voting for, some state level reps perhaps. This ballot initiative is morally unambiguous though.
