Bill > HCR2001

This Concurrent Resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution, which will be known as the "Fast Accurate Secure Transparent Election Results Act" or the "Fast Election Results Act," and will take effect for elections after January 1st, 2028, if approved by voters. The key provisions state that only U.S. citizens can register and vote in Arizona elections, and foreign nationals are prohibited from contributing to influence these elections. Furthermore, all voters will be required to present valid government-issued identification before casting a ballot, regardless of how they vote, and election results will be decided solely by eligible citizen voters. The resolution also mandates that on election day, voters must have the option to have their ballots tabulated at their voting location to ensure timely and accurate results, and it clarifies that the legislature and the people can enact laws governing elections, including early and mail-in voting, as long as these laws are rationally connected to legitimate state interests such as election security and public confidence. The resolution also includes a severability clause, meaning if any part is found invalid, the rest will remain in effect, and it requires the legislature to appropriate necessary funds for implementation, while explicitly stating it does not alter federal law concerning overseas military voters.
