Supreme Court to Review Arizona’s Proposed Citizenship‑Proof Requirement for Voter Registration

The U.S. Supreme Court announced it will hear a case challenging Arizona’s voter‑registration law. The law would require voters to present proof of U.S. citizenship when registering. Plaintiffs argue the measure violates the Constitution’s equal‑protection clause. Supporters claim it safeguards election integrity by preventing non‑citizen voting. The case arrives as President Trump urges states to adopt stricter registration standards. If upheld, the decision could set a national precedent for citizenship‑verification requirements. Civil‑rights groups warn the rule could suppress turnout among minority communities. The Court’s ruling is expected later this term, shaping future voting‑law debates.
