The resolution SCR1027 proposes to prohibit the use of funds or in-kind contributions from foreign sources for election administration and to influence ballot measures in Arizona. It mandates that any person, entity, or committee involved in election activities must certify under penalty of perjury that they have not accepted such foreign contributions. Additionally, government entities are barred from utilizing any foreign donations for election purposes, and vendors providing services to these entities must submit annual certifications confirming they have not received foreign donations.

The resolution outlines enforcement mechanisms, including penalties for non-compliance, which could result in class 1 misdemeanors for knowingly failing to provide accurate certifications. It allows the Attorney General to take legal action against violations and grants qualified electors the right to initiate civil actions to enforce these provisions. The measure will be submitted to voters for approval in the next general election, and if passed, it will take effect upon the Governor's proclamation.
