Supreme Court reinstates part of Arizona voter citizenship law

The U.S. Supreme Court revived part of Arizona's proof of voter citizenship law on Thursday, allowing for restrictions regarding the state voter registration form.

Following a request from the Republican National Committee and Arizona Republicans, the Supreme Court reinstated a provision of the state law after federal courts blocked it, Reuters reported. Individuals filling out voter registration forms for state elections must provide proof of U.S. citizenship, unlike those filling out the federal voter registration forms.

A provision of the law requiring that registrants demonstrate proof of citizenship when registering with the federal forms for the presidential election remains on ice.
