The resolution SCR1037 aims to enhance the security and transparency of voting systems used in Arizona for federal elections. It prohibits the use or purchase of any voting system components unless they meet specific criteria, including being designed, manufactured, and assembled in the United States by trusted suppliers. Additionally, the resolution mandates that the source code for voting systems must be open source and publicly available, and that ballot images and system log files must be securely recorded and posted online within 24 hours after polls close.

The resolution underscores the importance of election integrity and public trust in the electoral process, citing concerns over foreign influence and security vulnerabilities in existing voting systems. It emphasizes the need for rigorous standards and transparency to ensure that voters can be confident their votes are accurately counted and reported. The resolution has been passed by both the Arizona House and Senate and is set to be filed with the Secretary of State.
