Arizona is a state to watch in the midterm elections between a high-profile race for governor and U.S. Senate. But four propositions on the ballot could seriously impact the way Arizonans vote in future elections.
A bill signed into law by Gov. Doug Ducey will require proof of U.S. citizenship for Arizonans to vote in federal elections. The state already has a similar requirement on the books for state elections and observers say the new law is likely unconstitutional.
Lawmakers in dozens of states have introduced bills they say are aimed at fixing problems with how elections are carried out. In Arizona, the largely Republican efforts range from requiring audits of election officials, to doing away with unmonitored ballot drop boxes, and eliminating the state’s automatic early voting list. Critics including Democrats, however, call many of these proposals voter suppression.
