Arizona Supreme Court Allows Nearly 100,000 Voters Affected by Citizenship Error to Vote Full Ballot

The court ruled that voters caught in a coding glitch will not be disenfranchised in the upcoming election despite lacking documented proof of citizenship.

The Arizona Supreme Court decided that voters impacted by a long-standing coding error will receive full ballots in the upcoming election.
The error, discovered this month, miscategorized nearly 100,000 voters as having provided citizenship proof when they had not.
Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer emphasized that disenfranchising these voters would violate due process and is not authorized by state law.
The ruling temporarily resolves the issue but requires affected voters to prove their citizenship for future elections.
Officials are exploring federal tools and additional checks to verify the citizenship status of the impacted voters.
