The decision comes as the 2024 midterms approach, with Republicans aiming to pass similar laws in other states. The Grand Canyon State ruled that Arizona would prevent non-citizens from voting in both federal and state elections, lining up with other measures passed in 2022.
The ruling is a win for opponents of the federal-only voting system, built by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. Arizona has fought to prevent individuals registered under the system from voting in the state primaries.
The case remains ongoing, with Republicans and Democrats locked in a legal battle over the constitutionality of the law. Democrats argue the ruling targets minority voters while Republicans emphasize the need to protect election integrity.
