The Arizona Supreme Court ruled nearly 98,000 people whose citizenship documents hadn’t been confirmed can vote in state and local races.

The court's decision comes after officials uncovered a database error that for two decades mistakenly designated the voters as having access to the full ballot.

The Arizona Supreme Court has decided that nearly 98,000 voters, whose citizenship status was inaccurately recorded due to a database error, can vote in upcoming state and local elections. This ruling resolves a conflict between state officials and prevents disenfranchisement before the November 5 general election.
