Republican Party of Arizona Files Amicus Brief Defending Proof of Citizenship Requirements

July 22, 2025

SEATTLE, Washington - The Republican Party of Arizona, under the leadership of Chairwoman Gina Swoboda, alongside RITE PAC, filed an amicus curiae brief supporting efforts to protect the integrity of American elections. The brief was submitted in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, defending measures aimed at ensuring voter registration accuracy by requiring documentary proof of citizenship.

The brief emphasizes the authority provided by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), confirming that the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) has clear statutory authorization to include documentary proof of citizenship requirements in the federal voter registration form. This aligns with longstanding Arizona law, which has successfully implemented similar requirements to maintain voter roll integrity and ensure only eligible citizens participate in elections.

“Protecting election integrity is essential to preserving trust in our democratic process,” stated Chairwoman Swoboda. “Arizona Republicans have long advocated for sensible measures that ensure accuracy in voter registration and protect our elections from fraud. This brief underscores our continued commitment to transparent, fair, and secure elections.”

Additionally, the brief argues that President Trump’s Executive Order requiring all social service and public assistance program offices to inquire about the citizenship status of applicants before offering them a voter registration form is not only permissible, it is necessary, reinforcing Congressional intent to secure elections exclusively for eligible U.S. citizens.

The Republican Party of Arizona, committed to safeguarding constitutional freedoms and the integrity of elections, remains at the forefront of efforts advocating for responsible governance and secure voting procedures.
