AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution, to be known as "The Arizona Secure Elections Act," which, if approved by voters, would establish that only U.S. citizens can register and vote in Arizona elections, prohibit foreign nationals from contributing to or accepting contributions for influencing Arizona elections, and require all qualified voters to present government-issued identification when casting a ballot, with the state covering the cost of such identification for eligible voters. Additionally, the resolution aims to ensure timely election results by setting early voting deadlines to 7:00 PM on the Friday before an election, though mail-in ballots sent via USPS would still be accepted on Election Day, and it clarifies that voters in line by poll closing time will be allowed to vote, while also outlining conditions for receiving mail-in ballots, including an affirmative request, proof of citizenship during registration, and authorization by law. The resolution also includes a severability clause, meaning if any part is found invalid, the rest will remain in effect, and it explicitly states no change is intended to federal law regarding overseas military voters.
