The resolution H.C.R. 2013, titled the "Arizona Free and Fair Elections Act," seeks to bolster election integrity in Arizona by implementing several key measures. It prohibits the use of foreign donations for election administration and influencing ballot measures, ensuring that all individuals and vendors involved in election services certify they have not received such donations. The resolution also requires early mail voters to confirm their addresses before receiving ballots, with varying confirmation frequencies based on county size. Additionally, it mandates that public buildings owned by political subdivisions be made available as voting locations upon request.

To enforce these provisions, the resolution establishes penalties for non-compliance, including the invalidation of agreements with government entities and class 1 misdemeanors for providing false certifications. The act will be submitted to voters for approval, and if endorsed, it will take effect upon the Governor's proclamation. Overall, the resolution aims to protect the electoral process from foreign influence and ensure the integrity of early voting procedures in Arizona.
