The Arizona state Legislature has advanced the Secure Elections Act, confirming it will appear on the November ballot to give voters the chance to secure statewide elections. The proposed constitutional amendment requires government-issued voter identification to ensure only American citizens vote in their elections.
“For years, Arizonans have watched the same election problems repeat while trust in the system has eroded,” said Republican state Rep. Alexander Kolodin in a press release. “The Arizona Secure Elections Act puts the rules where they belong: in the Constitution.”
Kolodin is an election lawyer and the sponsor of the legislation, also known as the Fast Election Results Act.
He originally introduced the amendment with co-sponsor Joseph Chaplik in November. Chaplik has since resigned from the state Legislature to run in the Republican U.S. House of Representatives primary.
If passed, the proposed constitutional amendment will require government-issued identification, prohibit foreign nationals from donating to or influencing Arizona elections, and give voters the option to have their vote counted at the polling place rather than being sent elsewhere before being counted.

It will also allow voters who are waiting in line when the polls close to cast their ballots and require that mail-in ballots be requested each election to confirm the address. Prior to this, households would receive random ballots addressed to either voters who did not request one or people who did not live at the address.
“Citizens vote. Voters show ID. Foreign money stays out. Voters can see their ballots counted where they vote. Election laws should be written by Arizonans, not dictated by bureaucrats, activists, or outside interests,” Kolodin said.
While the ballot language has not yet been released, it will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot. If passed, the measure will apply beginning in the 2028 election cycle.
“The Legislature has done its job. Now the people of Arizona will decide,” he continued.
This statewide election security and voter ID bill is part of a national Republican measure to ensure only American citizens are voting. President Donald Trump and Republicans in the U.S. Congress have been pushing for the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) for months. While the House has passed the bill, the Senate has not yet taken it up for a vote.
The SAVE America Act would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and require photo identification in federal elections.
