The legal battles over Arizona’s voter registration law have been a bit like a Ping-Pong match as the challenge to the measure works its way through the courts. On Thursday, the Supreme Court issued a partial stay of the May district court ruling, which enjoined the law from being enforced. 

The provision in question requires proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in Arizona. Following the district court’s ruling in May, which prevented the law from going into effect, the Ninth Circuit initially stayed that ruling (on July 18), but then reversed itself (on August 1). The Arizona legislature and RNC then sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court.

Thursday’s ruling will now allow the law to go into effect while the substantive challenge works its way through the courts. 

The Arizona Senate Republicans issued a statement on X celebrating the ruling, as did Senator Mike Lee (R-UT).
