A federal judge has blocked Arizona from enforcing a 2022 state law requiring proof of citizenship to vote for U.S. president.
In ruling Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton said Arizonans who use a federal voter registration form are entitled to cast a ballot in presidential elections. She voided parts of the state law that say only those who provide “satisfactory evidence of citizenship’’ can vote in those elections.
Bolton further stated that the state lacks the authority to enforce a provision prohibiting mail-in voting for individuals utilizing this federal form.
