Senator Wendy Rogers is proud to co-sponsor SB 1037 with Senator Mark Finchem as part of ongoing efforts to restore public confidence in Arizona elections. For years, voters have raised concerns about voting machines, ballot handling, and the inability to verify election results through meaningful audits.
SB 1037 strengthens election integrity by improving security around voting equipment and expanding transparency for cast vote records. Elections cannot function properly in a system where citizens are told to trust results without being allowed to verify them. This bill moves Arizona toward verifiable, auditable elections that respect both transparency and voter privacy.
The bill responds to widespread public frustration with secrecy in election administration. When officials resist basic questions or block access to election data, trust erodes. SB 1037 takes the opposite approach by reinforcing safeguards and ensuring that election systems can withstand scrutiny.
Wendy Rogers supports SB 1037 because honest elections are the foundation of representative government. Without confidence in how votes are counted, the legitimacy of every public office is called into question.
