PHOENIX – In a swift decision, the Arizona Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, ensuring that almost 100,000 registrants will retain their ability to vote a full ballot in the upcoming elections.
PHOENIX – Arizona's election law, among the strictest in the U.S., requires citizens to meet rigorous standards to verify their eligibility to register to vote.

Recently, officials found that some long-term Arizonans, who were registered under less strict rules, had not been asked to meet the new standards due to a coding oversight.
