The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that around 98,000 Arizonans whose voter registration status was in question due to a clerical error from 2004 will be able to participate in the full ballot in November. The error allowed these individuals to register to vote without providing documented proof of citizenship, contrary to state law at the time. The court’s decision, hailed as a victory by the state’s Democratic secretary of state Adrian Fontes, ensures that these voters can cast their votes at both the federal and local levels. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, who discovered the error, worked with Fontes to resolve the issue and expressed gratitude for the court’s prompt action. Arizona GOP Chair Gina Swoboda also praised the decision, along with other election officials, highlighting the importance of ensuring that all eligible voters are able to participate in the upcoming election. With early voting in Arizona set to begin on October 9, the resolution of this issue underscores the shared commitment to upholding the integrity of the electoral process and protecting the right to vote for all citizens.
