Arizona Governor Signs Bill Requiring Proof of Citizenship to VoteBy Eric Lendrum
March 31, 2022
On Wednesday, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey (R-Ariz.) signed an election integrity bill which aims to crack down on illegal aliens voting in American elections.
As reported by CNN, the state of Arizona already has laws in place to prevent illegal aliens from voting in state elections, requiring proof of citizenship in order to do so. But the new legislation, H.B. 2492, extends those requirements to participation in federal elections as well. With Governor Ducey’s signature, the new law overrides a previous law which did not require proof of citizenship, but instead simply asked potential voters to swear, under penalty of perjury, that they were citizens prior to casting a vote in federal elections.
Under the new law, voters who submit a federal registration form without proof of citizenship must be vetted by state election officials; any official who fails to verify the citizenship status of a potential illegal alien could face felony charges.
