The U.S. Supreme Court has partially granted Republicans’ request to implement an Arizona law that requires voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship for the 2024 election, a report noted last week.

The decision is seen as a win for former President Donald Trump and Republicans, who have been advocating for better ballot integrity since 2020.

In a 5-4 decision, the high court partially approved an emergency request by the Republican National Committee and Arizona’s GOP legislative leadership to stay a lower court ruling that had blocked the law’s enforcement.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh formed the majority, while Associate Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Amy Coney Barrett were in dissent, according to The Federalist.

As the outlet reported earlier, the 2022 statute required residents to provide documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) when registering to vote using state registration forms. In addition, it mandated DPOC for those submitting mail-in ballots and voting in presidential elections.

In Arizona, individuals who do not provide DPOC when registering can still vote as “federal-only voters,” limiting their ballots to federal elections, the news site added.

Thursday’s SCOTUS order allows the DPOC requirement for state voter registration forms to be enforced for the 2024 election. However, the high court did not grant Republicans’ request to stay the lower court’s ruling that blocked the DPOC requirements for voting in presidential contests and for mail-in ballots.

According to the order, Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch would have granted Republicans’ request for stay “in full.”

Per the AZ Free News, more than 11,600 individuals voted via “federal-only” ballots during the Grand Canyon State’s 2020 election, which is more than Joe Biden’s margin of victory (10,457 votes) over Trump.

RNC Chair Michael Whatley wrote on X: “Huge win: the Supreme Court just ruled that the state of Arizona must REJECT state voter registration forms without proof of US citizenship. A seismic win in the fight to stop non-citizens from voting — more to come!”
