State May Not Impose Additional Requirements For Voter Registration.

The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 [NVRA; 42 U.S.C. §1973gg-4(a)(1)] requires states to “accept and use” a federal form to register voters. The form requires only that an applicant state under penalty of perjury that he or she is a citizen. Arizona had an additional requirement for registration officials to reject the federal form applications not accompanied by documentary evidence of citizenship. The United States Supreme Court held the federal statute “precludes Arizona from requiring a Federal Form applicant to submit information beyond that required by the form itself for Voter Registration.”  Arizona v. The Inter Tribal Council of Arizona  (U.S. Sup. Ct.; June 17, 2013) 133 S.Ct. 2247, [186 L.Ed.2d 239].
