Fontes asks Mayes to explain how AZ can implement reinstated voter registration law
Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes wants Attorney General Kris Mayes to provide elections officials guidance on how Arizona can enforce part of a voter registration law that the U.S. Supreme Court recently allowed to go into effect, even as another court weighs its constitutionality.
The Supreme Court last month ordered Arizona to enforce part of a 2022 law expanding citizenship requirements for new voters, lifting a block on the law that had been put in place by a lower court judge.
The high court’s move allows Arizona to implement a portion of the law that allows the state to stop accepting state-created voter registration forms from Arizona residents unless proof of citizenship is provided.
Now, Fontes has asked Mayes for a legal opinion in light of the ruling.
