A provision in a massive rewrite of Arizona’s campaign finance laws could loosen restrictions on groups that spend “dark money” in elections.

Saying it will maintain election integrity, Gov. Doug Ducey on Wednesday signed legislation to make felons out of those who collect the ballots of others to bring them to the polls.

A campaign finance bill moving through the Arizona Legislature was touted as a routine housecleaning measure to simplify the state's complicated election regulations.

The House has initially approved a measure that would shield nonprofits from releasing the names of donors even when they engage in lobbying and educating voters on ballot measures.

Republican lawmakers are hoping to go to the ballot box to settle a dispute over whether the Citizens Clean Elections Commission is subject to the same rulemaking regulations as other state agencies.

The House has given initial approval to a measure that would block voter-outreach groups from collecting and dropping off early ballots.

Republican lawmakers looking to increase Arizona's say in national elections have passed a measure to create a national popular vote.

A federal appeals court has reversed course and now says Arizona can prohibit some candidates for elected judgeships from soliciting campaign contributions or participating in somebody else's campaign.

The number of people registered to vote in Arizona declined by 1 percent during the last three months of 2015.

Insisting there must be fraud taking place, a Republican-controlled House committee voted today to make it a felony to take someone else's early ballot to a polling place.
