Voters in Phoenix overwhelmingly passed Proposition 419, an amendment to the Charter of the City of Phoenix requiring any person, association of persons or entity making expenditures to influence the result of a city election to disclose and identify expenditures and contributions including original and intermediary sources of major contributions.
This is the latest in a nationwide trend to limit the influence of so-called dark money.
Proponents for the proposition argued Proposition 419 was a critical step to restoring the public’s trust in our elections.
The proposition passed 86.1 percent to 13.89 percent.
