The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Friday that roughly 98,000 Arizonans whose voter registration status was uncertain due to a clerical error from 2004 will be able to vote in the full ballot in November. The court's decision prevents disenfranchisement of voters and upholds their right to participate in state elections.
The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Friday that roughly 98,000 Arizona ns whose voter registration status was in limbo will be able to participate in the full ballot in November. The uncertainty regarding the voters’ fate came after the Maricopa County Recorder’s office discovered a clerical error from 2004 that granted the nearly 100,000 Arizona ns voting registration status despite not providing documented proof of citizenship.
Doing so is not authorized by state law and would violate principles of due process,” wrote Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer in the Arizona Supreme Court’s decision. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer filed the lawsuit Tuesday and worked with Fontes to resolve the issue. “Thank God,” posted Richer on X to the court’s decision on Friday evening. “Thank you Arizona Supreme Court for your extremely quick and professional review of this matter,’ Richer added.
