03/01/2024 07:00 AM EST

The court ruled that the birthplace requirement of House Bill 2492 violated a federal law that prevents election officials from rejecting voting materials for errors or omissions that are not material to determining a registrant's qualifications to vote. The court previously ruled that Arizona may not require documentary proof citizenship to vote in a federal election.
