Arizona

This case puts independent voter registration drives, like those conducted by the League, squarely in the crosshairs of those that want to restrict access to political participation and voting.

Voting rights have been under attack in state legislatures across the country for more than a decade and there are no signs of it letting up in 2013.

"In the general election on Nov. 5, 1912 - just 10 months after becoming a state - Arizona approved a measure that gave its women the right to vote."

"The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to decide whether Arizona may require proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections. The federal appeals court in San Francisco had blocked the state law, saying it conflicted with a federal one."

“While some folks are content to sit around and complain about low voter turnout, the women of the SaddleBrooke unit of the League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson [AZ] are out to do something about it. The four-women team intends to rock the vote by getting as many people as possible...to register to vote while educating them about the process and making sure they have the information they need to get to the polls.”

“The League of Women's Voters of Greater Tucson is preparing its voters guide for the November election to educate voters on issues, propositions and candidates.”
