HCR 2001 explained: where to read the Prop 144 ballot measure text

· 5 min read

Arizona desert landscape at dusk

If you have been searching 'HCR 2001 Arizona' and landing on legislative tracking pages, this is the orientation you were looking for.

What HCR 2001 is

A House Concurrent Resolution is how the Arizona Legislature sends a proposed constitutional amendment to the voters. It passes the House and the Senate, and then it goes on the ballot. The governor does not sign or veto it. HCR 2001 is the vehicle that became Proposition 144.

The proposition number, 144, is assigned by the Secretary of State when measures are certified for the ballot. Same measure, two names, depending on which stage of the process you are reading about.

The statutory name

Within the measure, the provisions are designated the Fast, Accurate, Secure and Transparent Election Results Act. You will also see it called the Arizona Secure Elections Act, a supporter framing used during the legislative debate. All three refer to the same thing on your ballot: Proposition 144.

Where to read the primary sources

There are three documents worth your time, in this order:

  • The full measure text, search HCR 2001, 2026 session, at azleg.gov.
  • The official ballot language and publicity pamphlet at azsos.gov, which includes the legislative council's impartial analysis and the pro/con arguments filed by the public.
  • Your county recorder's voter information page for how the measure would be implemented where you live.

A note on ballot language litigation

The wording that appears on the ballot for this measure has been the subject of a legal challenge over whether the description is misleading. Litigation of ballot descriptions is common in Arizona and does not by itself change what the underlying measure does. Read the measure text, not only the ballot summary.
