Arizona’s Supreme Court on Friday determined that the nearly 98,000 voters who have not proved their citizenship due to a glitch in the system can still vote in the November elections.
Arizona law requires voters to file documents that prove their citizenship in order to vote in state and local elections, but not in federal ones. But an error was discovered on Tuesday that revealed thousands of residents had applied for driver’s licenses without proving that they were citizens. Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs has also admitted the issue and said that the error is being fixed.
