Arizona Supreme Court Rejects Extension for Mail-In Ballot Corrections

The court found no evidence of disenfranchisement, maintaining the original deadline for voters to cure ballot issues.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other groups sought an extension to allow voters more time to correct signature mismatches on mail-in ballots.
The Arizona Supreme Court denied the request, citing that counties had made reasonable efforts to notify voters of issues.
Approximately 67,000 ballots remained unprocessed when the ACLU filed the petition; this number decreased to over 33,000 by the deadline.
The court's decision came amid concerns that delays in processing could prevent voters from curing their ballots in time.
Despite the denial, the ACLU and its allies continue to advocate for ensuring all votes are counted.
