The Supreme Court said Monday it will consider a Republican push to enforce strict Arizona voting laws passed in the swing state after the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

The high court has allowed some similar rules to take effect temporarily before, including Arizona’s proof-of-citizenship requirement for state and local elections and a Virginia purge of voter rolls that the state said was aimed at keeping noncitizens from voting.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s Republican administration joined the appeal after lower courts found the measures violated federal voting laws.<\/p>\n

The high court is expected to hear arguments in the fall and hand down an opinion after the midterm elections.<\/p>\n

The Republican-controlled legislature passed the laws in 2022, part of a wave of similar proposals around the country after Trump falsely claimed widespread voter fraud was responsible for his narrow defeat there to Democrat Joe Biden. Trump reclaimed the state in 2024, helping secure his return to the White House.<\/p>\n

The case reached the Supreme Court’s emergency docket in 2024. The justices gave the GOP a partial victory, allowing Arizona to require proof of citizenship for registration in state and local elections but not federal races.<\/p>\n

Also that year, the high court allowed Virginia to continue a purge of voter rolls shortly before the election.<\/p>\n

Citizenship is required to vote across the country, and people must attest they are citizens under penalty of perjury to register. Arizona is among only a handful of states that require additional proof, like a driver’s license or passport. Data indicates that voting by noncitizens is rare.<\/p>\n

Arizona tried to impose proof requirements for national elections in 2013, but the law was struck down by the Supreme Court. Now, people can register as \u201cfederal only\u201d voters without providing proof of citizenship, but Arizona requires additional proof for state and local election participation.<\/p>\n
