Foreign donations; election administration; certification

Chamber Passed·2/23/26

Arizona SB1289 regulates foreign donations in election administration and mandates certifications.

Arizona SB1289 amends the state's election laws by adding sections 16-407.04 and 16-407.05. Section 16-407.04 requires any person entering into agreements with government entities for election administration to certify they are not knowingly recipients of foreign donations. This certification must be updated annually. Section 16-407.05 allows the attorney general to enforce these provisions and provides for private right of action for qualified electors and state officers. Violations carry penalties, including fines and injunctive relief.
