Ninth Circuit Court Upholds Arizona Voter Citizenship Requirement on July 18, 2024

Jul 18, 2024, 10:10 PM

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of Arizona's voter identification law on July 18, 2024, requiring all new voters to provide proof of citizenship when registering with the state. This decision, which overturns a previous lower court ruling, mandates that voter registrations without proof of citizenship will be rejected. The ruling has been hailed as a victory for election integrity by supporters, while facing objections from Democrats. The court specified that this requirement applies to those using state registration forms but does not affect those registering with federal forms for presidential elections.
