"Vote YES on Proposition 144, the Fast, Accurate, Secure and Transparent Election Results Act. 

Arizonans shouldn't wait days, or weeks, for election results. Prop 144 lets you keep voting by mail exactly as you do today, and adds the option to have your ballot counted on-site, on election night. It requires ID for every ballot and keeps foreign money out of Arizona elections. 

Prop 144 is a commonsense upgrade to Arizona’s elections. It keeps every way you already vote and adds a few simple, fair improvements so every ballot is counted the same way, and the results are ready on election night." - Fast Election Results

"Vote YES on Proposition 144 — the FAST Elections Act — to guarantee every Arizona election is fast, accurate, secure, and transparent. 

What Prop 144 Does 

• Constitutionally bans foreign money from ever being spent to influence Arizona elections. 

• Constitutionally guarantees that only U.S. citizens can register to vote, and that Arizona’s elections are decided solely by citizen voters. 

• Requires every voter, no matter which method they use to vote, to provide voter ID before casting their ballot. And then on this closes a loophole in Arizona's voter ID law, "that currently allows someone to show two non-ID documents, like a utility bill, instead of real government-issued identification. 

• Requires every county to give voters the option to have their early ballot tabulated on-site on Election Day — significantly speeding up election results, giving voters more convenient options, and giving Arizonans confidence that their ballot was counted with election night results. 

• Codifies the rational basis legal standard for reviewing election laws passed by voters or the Legislature, so future election rules are judged by a clear, consistent standard." - Yes On Prop 144  

"Voting in a free and fair election is one of our most cherished rights as Americans. Every legal voter should have confidence that their vote counts and isn’t diluted by ineligible ballots or foreign influence. The Arizona Secure Elections Act contains sensible reforms, supported by the vast majority of Arizonans, that would make meaningful improvements to secure elections and speed up results.  

Prop 144 strengthens voter ID provisions, ensures only American citizens vote in Arizona, and accelerates election results reporting by giving voters the option to have their ballot tabulated when cast at their voting location.

Additionally, the Arizona Secure Elections Act bans the corrupting influence of foreign funding." - Nathan Duell, Arizona State Director, Heritage Action

"Arizonans of every party agree on something simple: our elections should be secure, transparent, honest, and follow the law — and every eligible citizen's vote should count. I sponsored the FAST Act to write that common-sense standard directly into our Constitution, where politicians and bureaucrats can't water it down. 

A YES vote guarantees four things. Only United States citizens may vote in Arizona elections — period. Every voter provides a government-issued ID, so we know each ballot is cast by the person casting it. Foreign individuals and corporations are banned from spending to influence our elections and our ballot measures, because our elections belong to us. And by bringing Arizona in line with states like Florida, we end the endless waiting. Election Day means Election Day, and you'll have fast results you can trust on election night.  

The reality is that election administration shouldn't be about right vs. left or rich vs. poor. Citizen-only voting, voter ID, banning foreign money, and timely results are supported by Independents, Republicans, and Democrats alike. For too long, Arizona has been a national punchline for slow counts and broken trust. The FAST Act fixes that permanently, in our Constitution, where it belongs to the people." - Alexander Kolodin, State Representative and Candidate for Arizona Secretary of State

"Prop 144 is a Trojan Horse packaged as "election integrity," but it would eliminate mail-in voting for the 85% of Arizonans who rely on it. 

MAGA radicals are trying to sneak a Trojan Horse through Arizona's gates. Election deniers wrapped Prop. 144 in a shiny box labeled "election security," but inside is a direct attack on the way 85% of us cast our ballots: vote-by-mail.

Prop. 144 rewrites the Arizona Constitution to align with Donald Trump's bizarre call to end vote-by-mail. It enshrines confusing ID requirements, meaning the courts and politicians would ultimately decide which citizens votes count.

To trick you into voting for it, they padded the bill with campaign and citizenship laws that are already on the books. It's bait.

History warns us what happens when the Trojan Horse is let inside." - Protect the Vote Arizona  

"Voting by mail is used reliably by most Arizonans. This will lead to its eventual elimination. Why? 

This amendment will change Arizona’s State Constitution to make it harder, and potentially impossible, to vote by mail. Citizenship is already a prerequisite for receiving a ballot, and we already have safe and secure elections. Prop 144 undermines the whole purpose of voting by mail by requiring Arizona voters to submit redundant proof of identification before mailing in their ballots, in every single election. No other state with a strong vote-by-mail program does this. 

Americans already waste a combined 12 billion hours each year filling out government forms, filing taxes, and dealing with our government’s bureaucracy. There is no need to subject Arizonans to additional, unnecessary requirements. Vote no on Prop 144 to protect voting by mail. Politicians are just trying to make things harder for you for no good reason." - Will of the People   

"HCR 2001 amends the Arizona Constitution to impose new election requirements and place detailed election procedures beyond the reach of ordinary legislative review and improvement. Constitutional amendments should protect fundamental rights, not lock election administration policies into place.  

Arizona voters have consistently embraced early and mail voting because it allows them to participate despite work schedules, family responsibilities, disabilities, health concerns, military service, transportation challenges, or long distances to polling locations. HCR 2001 creates new barriers and uncertainty for these voters by requiring government-issued identification every time a ballot is cast, including for voters who vote by mail, while leaving key implementation details to future legislation.  

Arizona already has extensive election laws that include multiple safeguards to protect election integrity, and there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud that would justify creating additional barriers for eligible voters." - Pinny Sheoran, Board Officer, Secretary/ State Advocacy Chair, League of Women Voters of Arizona

"Arizona adopted no-excuse mail-in voting in 1991, and it was immediately popular, allowing flexibility for voters and wide participation in our most fundamental democratic process. Early voting and vote-by-mail have boosted turnout among older voters, students, working individuals, and people with disabilities without jeopardizing security or fairness. Vote-by-mail is the backbone of Arizona elections. 

Proposition 144 would undermine this critical feature of Arizona elections by requiring voters to provide ID “concurrent” with casting a ballot. Currently, early voters who return their ballot by mail or at drop-off locations are already validated through signature verification. Under Prop 144, voters must put a copy of their ID inside their early ballot envelope every election or have their vote not counted. Submitting identification along with every early ballot exposes voters’ highly sensitive information to a myriad of risks and will delay the tabulation of election results.  

Additionally, Prop 144 would narrow the list of acceptable voter ID, meaning voters could not use a utility bill, bank statement, or insurance card to cast their ballot thus reducing access particularly for rural voters, young people, low-income or other marginalized people." - Darrell Hill, Director of Policy, ACLU of Arizona
