The resolution HCR2001 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution, specifically adding Section 19 to Article VII, which outlines new election requirements. If approved by voters, the amendment would restrict voting in Arizona to only United States citizens, prohibit foreign contributions to candidate and ballot measure campaigns, and mandate that voters present government-issued identification when casting their ballots. Additionally, it establishes that early voting must conclude by 7:00 PM on the Friday before the general election, and that votes cannot be accepted after the designated closing time on election day. The amendment also asserts the right for qualified electors to vote in person at accessible polling places and provides for mail-in ballots for those who have documented proof of citizenship.
The resolution includes provisions for severability, ensuring that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining sections will still be enforceable. It designates the amendment as "The Arizona Secure Elections Act" and mandates that the Secretary of State present this proposition to voters at the next general election. The intent of the resolution is to enhance the security and integrity of the electoral process in Arizona.
