PHOENIX — A federal appeals court has struck down a key part of Arizona’s law requiring voters to prove they are citizens before registering to vote or casting ballots.
The decision Tuesday by a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the law requiring voters to prove their citizenship while registering is inconsistent with the National Voter Registration Act. The federal law allows voters to fill out a mail-in card and swear they are citizens under penalty of perjury but doesn’t require them to show proof.
