What This Bill Would Do

HCR 2001 proposes a constitutional amendment that would restrict voting to U.S. citizens, ban campaign contributions from foreign persons or corporations, require government-issued identification for all voters when casting a ballot, and end early voting by the Friday before the general election if authorized by law. The measure also mandates that mail-in ballots be provided solely upon affirmative request for electors who have provided documented proof of citizenship. The proposal will be submitted to voters at the next general election.

Why it matters

The measure establishes new constitutional requirements for voter identification, citizenship verification, and campaign finance rules in Arizona elections, pending voter approval. It alters the rules for mail-in ballot requests and sets a statewide deadline for early voting to conclude prior to election day.
