Voting Rights

A conservative legal group is suing Arizona Sec. of State Adrian Fontes, alleging his official ballot description of Prop.144 is misleading and biased against the Republican-backed election measure.

A medida que se acerca la primaria del 21 de julio, una residente de Yuma se prepara para votar por primera vez. Su historia refleja el temor que algunos inmigrantes sienten aun con estatus legal.

As the July 21 primary election nears, one longtime Yuma resident is preparing to vote for the first time. Her story reflects a fear some Latino immigrants carry even after gaining legal status.

Secretary of State Adrian Fontes wants a federal judge to throw out efforts by the Trump administration to force him to turn over voter registration and election records.

Arizona Senate Republicans approved a ballot measure that would require identification for mail voters.

Secretary of State Adrian Fontes cannot enforce his ban on offensive or insulting speech at and around polling places, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.

Adrian Fontes, Arizona's Secretary of State, argued there is nothing wrong with American elections but some leaders in Washington, D.C., disagree.

Congress could soon vote on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE Act. Lawmakers say it's designed to keep undocumented immigrants from voting, but it's raising concerns as voting rights advocates say it could keep many in Arizona from casting ballots.

Arizona lawmakers want to ask voters again to pare back their right to craft their own laws or change the constitution, continuing a series of proposed changes to citizens' rights to bypass the Legislature that have seen mixed results in recent elections.The Republican-controlled House on Wednesday advanced a measure that would require backers of voter initiatives to collect signatures from all 15 counties in order to put a measure on the ballot.

Republican lawmakers are wagering that Arizona voters care more about prompt election results than they do about being able to drop off their early ballots at the last minute.
