Proposed amendment would require ID for every voter and ban foreign election spending

Only citizens could register and vote in Arizona elections, and foreign nationals could not give or spend money or anything of value to influence an Arizona election. The ban on foreign money applies to foreign nationals, and no person could knowingly accept such a contribution. Arizona elections would be decided solely by the votes of eligible citizen voters. Nothing in the measure changes the federal process for overseas military voters. The measure applies to all elections on or after January 1, 2028, if voters approve it.

Every voter would have to show valid government-issued proof of identity before casting a ballot, and all voters would have the option to have their ballot tabulated at their voting location on election day. The ID requirement covers voting in person or by any other method. Details would be set by law. The measure applies to all elections on or after January 1, 2028, if voters approve it.

Laws on early voting and mail voting would have to be rationally connected to a legitimate state interest. The people and the legislature could pass election laws, including on early and mail voting, if they serve interests such as timely and accurate results, efficient administration, election security, and public confidence. The legislature would have to appropriate money needed to carry out the section. The measure would not be subject to the state expenditure limit in article IX, section 23.
