state officeholders; dual citizenship; prohibition
HCR 2061 proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit individuals holding dual citizenship from serving in Arizona state office. It would amend the state constitution to require all state legislators and other elected officials (as listed in Article V, Section 1) to be U.S. citizens at the time of election, explicitly barring those with dual citizenship from eligibility. This change would directly affect candidates running for state legislative seats and other state offices requiring U.S. citizenship. The amendment must be approved by voters in the next general election after being submitted by the Secretary of State, as it is currently in early legislative stages (House first and second readings in February 2026).
