U.S. Supreme Court Will Review Arizona Voter Citizenship Law

Queen Creek, Arizona — The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review whether Arizona can block people who do not provide documented proof of citizenship from registering to vote for president, according to the Arizona Capitol Times.

Queen Creek, in the southeast Phoenix metro area along the Maricopa-Pinal county line, has roughly 70,000 residents and is one of Arizona’s fast-growing communities.

The June 29 order does not decide the case, but it means at least four justices agreed to hear arguments over a lower-court ruling that limited the state’s ability to enforce citizenship and residency requirements.

The Arizona Capitol Times reported that more than 43,000 Arizonans who are currently registered could be affected depending on the court’s eventual decision, though no change is expected before the November election.

Arizona voters should continue registering and voting under current rules, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said in a statement quoted by the Arizona Capitol Times.

Arizona voters approved a proof-of-citizenship registration requirement in 2004. The legal dispute also involves a 2022 law passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature requiring election officials to regularly check voter eligibility.

Voting-rights groups, including Mi Familia Vota, challenged the 2022 changes, arguing that the requirements conflict with federal voter-registration rules.
