Supreme Court Upholds Parts of Arizona's Proof-of-Citizenship Voting Law

The ruling allows Arizona to enforce proof of citizenship for state elections but maintains federal protections for presidential ballots.

  • The 5-4 decision permits Arizona to require proof of citizenship for state and local election registrations.
  • Voters using federal forms without proof of citizenship can still vote in presidential and congressional elections.
  • The ruling follows a series of legal battles challenging the 2022 Arizona law.
  • Voting rights advocates argue the law could disenfranchise thousands of eligible voters.
  • The decision is expected to influence similar legislative efforts in other states.
