Thousands of voters in Maricopa County caught up in a state record-keeping error won’t yet lose their voting rights for not providing proof of citizenship, county officials now say. But Pinal County has suspended more than a thousand voters affected by the error who have tried to update their registration without providing the proof.
How Maricopa and Pinal handle these affected voters will determine whether they can cast ballots in jurisdictional elections scheduled for Nov. 4. Arizona counties began sending ballots to voters on Oct. 8, and Maricopa and Pinal counties are running their elections entirely by mail.
