Arizona Republicans reignite push for Florida style elections

Arizona Republicans who want to speed up and secure state election results are planning to subvert the state’s Democratic governor by pushing a controversial election measure to voters on the 2026 general election ballot.

GOP lawmakers in both chambers at the Capitol prefiled identical resolutions that they say would make the state’s elections more secure. The resolutions, Senate Concurrent Resolution 1001 and House Concurrent Resolution 2001, are both titled the Secure Arizona Elections Act. The provisions are similar to Florida election laws.

The measure would require all early ballots to be submitted by 7 p.m. the Friday before an election and require voters to provide identification when casting their ballots. It also requires voters on the Active Early Voting List to confirm their ballot-delivery address each election year.

“Arizonans are tired of excuses and chaos on Election Day,” said the measure’s sponsor, Rep. Alexander Kolodin, R-Scottsdale, in a statement. “The Arizona Secure Elections Act gives voters clear rules, strong identification standards, and the confidence that only citizens are taking part in our elections. These are straightforward reforms that put voters first. They ensure our elections run on time, follow the law, and earn the public’s trust. I look forward to sending it to the ballot so the people of Arizona can make it the law.”
