Supreme Court agrees to review Arizona's proof-of-citizenship voting laws and voter purge procedures.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments next term on whether Arizona can require proof of citizenship for state voter registration and conduct systematic removals of suspected noncitizens from voter rolls within 90 days of an election. The case challenges a 9th Circuit ruling that found these provisions preempted by the National Voter Registration Act. A decision is not expected before the 2026 midterms.

The split, in one line
Republican-aligned outlets frame Arizona's laws as common-sense steps to secure elections, while mainstream outlets emphasize that the dispute elevates efforts to tighten voting rules amid unsubstantiated fraud claims and risks disenfranchising eligible voters. The Times signals the case could open the door to stricter registration requirements under Trump pressure.
