US Supreme Court partially reinstates Arizona's proof-of-citizenship voter requirement for federal races.

The US Supreme Court has partially reinstated an Arizona law requiring voters to provide proof of American citizenship when registering, following a request from the Republican National Committee. The court ruled that Arizona can demand proof of citizenship for registering voters in federal races, but did not reinstate the law in its entirety. Some provisions for Arizona's proof-of-citizenship requirements for the November election were blocked. The decision allows Arizona to verify the citizenship of newly registered voters while still allowing them to vote in the upcoming election. The ruling does not impact the remaining voters in Arizona who have already provided proof of citizenship when they registered.
