How Arizona's 2024 election will be different after years of scrutiny - Washington Examiner

Part one of Battleground Ballots will focus on what has changed in Arizona , the epicenter of election integrity battles in the 2020 and 2022 elections.

A recent ruling by the Supreme Court delivered the Republican National Committee a small victory when it ruled that Arizona officials must reject state voter registration forms that are submitted without an applicant’s proof of U.S. citizenship.

Arizona counties are also making changes to ballot systems and encouraging early voting, which starts almost a month ahead of the general election.

Voter registration for Arizona ’s general election ends on Oct. 7 ., 29 days before the Nov. 5 election.

Arizona voters can vote early by mail, in person, and via drop box or at a vote center on Election Day .

Early voting centers are open 27 days before Election Day , with drop boxes opening Oct. 9 .

Maricopa County , home to more than 60% of the state’s roughly 7.4 million population, is a must-win territory for Democrats .

The County Board of Supervisors across Arizona will review and verify the accuracy of election results in a certification process known as canvassing for each precinct or election district.
