(AP Photo\/Matt York)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Last year, the Arizona Legislature passed anti-democratic voting bills that wreaked havoc on Arizonans\u2019 abilities to cast a ballot. This included House Bill 2492, which created a new restrictive proof of citizenship requirement for voters at the time of registration.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first of its kind to retroactively require voters to prove their citizenship, as many as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/03\/30\/1089809421\/arizona-republicans-enact-a-controversial-new-proof-of-citizenship-voting-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">192,000 eligible voters<\/a>\u00a0could have been purged from the state\u2019s voter rolls and forced to re-register to adhere to these requirements. The bill also included proof of address requirements, which are a major concern for Native American voters who live on reservations, including those who live in the estimated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/narf.org\/cases\/az-voter-address-requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">40,000 homes on tribal reservations without physical addresses.<\/a>\u00a0The ID requirements for voter registration included in HB2492 are layered on top of already-restrictive existing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/states\/arizona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ID requirements<\/a>\u00a0for voting in Arizona that disenfranchise thousands.<\/p>\n<p>Restrictive voting laws like these threaten the rights of eligible voters and weaken our democracy. They <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/analysis-millions-lack-voter-id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disproportionately affect<\/a> those from already marginalized communities. Multiple lawsuits were filed to challenge HB2492, and last month, a federal judge struck down the provisions of the law that required documentary proof of citizenship and proof of residency. While this was a major victory, there is still a long way to go to ensure that voters feel confident and ready to cast their ballots. The trial challenging other provisions of HB2492 begins on Nov. 6.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18208\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18208\" style=\"width: 248px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/42842001-06E2-4FD3-8CD6-3639991F97FB-248x300.jpg\" alt=\"Anti-democratic laws wreak havoc on ability to cast ballot \" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/42842001-06E2-4FD3-8CD6-3639991F97FB-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/42842001-06E2-4FD3-8CD6-3639991F97FB-846x1024.jpg 846w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/42842001-06E2-4FD3-8CD6-3639991F97FB-768x930.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/42842001-06E2-4FD3-8CD6-3639991F97FB-1269x1536.jpg 1269w, https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/42842001-06E2-4FD3-8CD6-3639991F97FB.jpg 1586w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18208\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dani Duarte, Arizona Voter ID Coalition Coordinator at VoteRiders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"article_dfp_ads\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-in_content_300x250_a\" class=\"div-gpt-ad-in_content_300x250_a in_content_300x250_a dfp_ad_pos\" data-google-query-id=\"CPbn1s3zjIIDFYdBCQkduaIHxA\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/13051489\/azcapitoltimes_2__container__\">HB2492 illustrates how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/staterules\/?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ever-shifting ID laws<\/a> can threaten people\u2019s ability to vote.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As of 2020, nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/analysis-millions-lack-voter-id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">29 million voting-age U.S. citizens lacked a non-expired driver\u2019s license<\/a> and over 7 million lacked any other form of non-expired government-issued photo ID. That\u2019s potentially millions of Americans who may be directly blocked from voting because they don\u2019t have what they need to cast a ballot in their state. At the same time, millions more Americans are unaware of voter ID requirements. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/states\/arizona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">states like Arizona<\/a>, voters can be caught in the middle \u2013 and are left feeling so confused or intimidated that they end up staying home on Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/team\/dani-duarte\/?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arizona Voter ID Coalition Coordinator<\/a> for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VoteRiders<\/a>, the nation\u2019s leading organization focused on voter ID. We run large-scale voter education campaigns and provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/freehelp\/?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free, direct help<\/a> to anyone who needs an ID to cast a ballot. I\u2019m talking to Arizonans every day to answer their questions and help get them the documentation they need to vote. A lot of people think voter ID is separate from a state ID, which makes sense, because voter ID means something different in each state. Even in states without restrictive voter ID laws like Arizona\u2019s, the intimidation and confusion of figuring out what to bring to the polls can deter voters from making their voices heard.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen firsthand how IDs can change people\u2019s lives. I help Arizonans get their first photo IDs \u2013 which lets them open a bank account, apply for jobs, get housing and have a say on the issues that matter to them by becoming a voter. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/freehelp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">We remove all logistical, financial and transportation-related barriers<\/a> that voters face in obtaining IDs. You can call or text the VoteRiders Helpline at 866-ID-2-VOTE and our team will get you the help you need \u2013 for free. Make sure you\u2019re talking about voter ID with your community to ensure that everyone in your circle has the ID they need.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article_dfp_ads\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-in_content_300x250_b\" class=\"div-gpt-ad-in_content_300x250_b in_content_300x250_b dfp_ad_pos\" data-google-query-id=\"CPXn1s3zjIIDFYdBCQkduaIHxA\">Voter ID laws undermine and distort democracy. By creating extra barriers to the voting booth, they block millions of otherwise eligible voters from participating in the democratic process. And with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/staterules\/?swcfpc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ever-changing ID requirements<\/a> for registration and voting in our state, these laws create confusion and keep people from even attempting to vote. Every eligible American, regardless of zip code, income, race, age, ability or gender, should be able to exercise their right to vote without any undue or unjust barriers.
