Arizona Proposition 144 trailed on unofficial results on the morning of 4 November 2026, by 1,103,008 votes (53.2%) against to 970,349 (46.8%) for, KTAR reported at 8:16am with all 15 counties reporting. Of the six citizenship-voting measures on 3 November ballots, it was the only one behind on unofficial counts; Arizona certifies its statewide canvass on 23 November.
The Legislature referred it as HCR 2001. It would write into the constitution that only US citizens may register and vote, require government-issued proof of identity before any ballot is cast, mail ballots included, ban foreign money in Arizona elections and let voters have ballots tabulated at their polling place. It would apply from 1 January 2028. Arizona does not now require ID with a mail ballot.
The measure bundled citizenship, which voters elsewhere backed, with ID for postal voting, which they rejected in three states with established mail systems. Documentary proof of citizenship at registration, an Arizona rule, is before the Supreme Court in RNC v. Mi Familia Vota.
