Arizona voter citizenship rulings lead to disparate treatment for voters across state
Arizona voters who haven’t proven their citizenship are being treated differently across the state as they try to update their voter registration, in some cases seeing their registration suspended entirely until they provide proof, Votebeat has found.
The disparate treatment across county lines comes as election officials decide how to comply with recent court rulings on state laws governing proof of citizenship, according to the responses nine out of 15 county recorder offices provided to Votebeat.
The confusion over how to treat these voter updates is the latest complication arising from Arizona’s unique laws, which require voters to document their citizenship in order to vote in state and local elections.
The Secretary of State’s Office gave the recorders, who manage the voter rolls, recommendations on how to comply with the court rulings, but no mandates.
