The US Supreme Court has granted a Republican request to partially reinstate an Arizona law demanding proof of American citizenship for voter registration.
In a 5 to 4 ruling, justices reinstated part of a 2022 law that rejected such forms if the voter did not provide proof of citizenship.
The law’s full revival would have excluded more than 41,000 people from voting in November’s election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
The administration of President Joe Biden, who won Arizona in 2020 by just over 10,000 votes, had sued to stop the law.
According to the Arizona Republic newspaper the outcome is expected to have little impact on the looming general election as it does not affect any Arizonan already registered to vote.
