Arizona

There have been recent changes to Arizona’s voter registration ID requirements:

Registration applications submitted on the Arizona state form, rather than the federal form, without proof of citizenship, will be denied.

Registration applications submitted on the federal form cannot require proof of citizenship at the time of submission for federal elections.
