Proof of Citizenship to Vote

RNC Files Motion to Enforce Documentary Proof of Citizenship Requirements in Arizona

PHOENIX, Ariz. — The RNC and the Arizona Legislature have filed a motion to stay a federal district court decision striking down Arizona’s documentary proof of citizenship requirements while the Ninth Circuit hears the appeal.

If this motion is successful, Arizona can enforce its law requiring documentary proof of citizenship to vote in this November’s presidential election or cast a ballot by mail in any election.

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley stated: “Our elections, and the future of our country, should be decided by Americans. Non-citizen voting compromises our elections and we are committed to stopping it. This filing is another critical legal step in our fight to secure the 2024 election.”

Arizona GOP Chair Gina Swoboda stated: “Our election outcomes must reflect the voices of American voters. Any vote cast by a non-citizen dilutes those votes and risks silencing those voices.

This is a very real problem in Arizona and we are committed to resolving it. The AZGOP and the RNC are engaging at every level to ensure our elections properly reflect the will of Arizona voters.” [Republican{arty]
