Arizona Residents who Register to Vote with the State Form, will have their Registration Rejected without Pproof of U.S. Citizenship, under a Temporary Ruling Thursday from a Federal Appeals Court.
Previously, Residents without Citizenship Documents had been Allowed to use the State Form, which almost All Arizonans use, to get Registered, but they could vote only in Federal Elections, for U.S. House, Senate, and President.
That’s because Arizona Law requires Voters to provide Proof of Citizenship to Register, whereas Federal Law requires only an Attestation that a Voter is a Citizen, but Not Documentation proving it.
Under a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court Ruling [Arizona v. ITCA], the State must Permit Voters who registered without Citizenship Proof to cast Ballots in Federal Elections, so Arizona has maintained separate Rolls of so-called Federal-Only Voters.
Thursday’s Decision, by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, granted a Partial Stay of a Lower-Court Ruling, that Struck Down Newer Arizona Laws on Federal-Only Voters.
As long as the Stay is in place, those Voters can Register to Vote and Cast Ballots in Federal Elections, only if they use a Federal Voter Registration Form, something Few People currently do.
