Press Release

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.

“Today marks a significant victory for those whose fundamental right to vote was under scrutiny. The court faced a stark choice: to allow voters to participate in just a few federal races on a limited ballot, or to make their voices heard across hundreds of decisions on a full ballot that includes a variety of local and state offices,” stated Secretary Fontes. “We deeply appreciate the Arizona Supreme Court for their prompt and just resolution.”


The Secretary of State's Office extends a heartfelt thanks to Governor Katie Hobbs and Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, and all who filed motions to intervene for their rapid response and collaborative efforts to address and rectify the challenges that led to this case.


Please be advised that following the general election, election officials will reach out to voters requiring proof of citizenship updates to their records.
