elections; foreign contributions; certification

SCR 1013 is a proposed Arizona constitutional amendment (requiring voter approval) that aims to prevent foreign influence in elections. It requires election service providers and ballot measure committees to certify under penalty of perjury that they aren’t receiving foreign funding, with annual updates and immediate reporting of new information. The law mandates quarterly reports to the Secretary of State and prohibits using foreign money for election administration or ballot initiatives. Violations could lead to fines, contract termination, or civil lawsuits, with enforcement handled by the Attorney General or qualified voters. This applies to organizations working on elections or ballot measures, excluding tribal nations and standard "common goods" like office supplies.
