The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Friday that nearly 100,000 residents who may not have fulfilled the state’s proof-of-citizenship requirements can still vote in state and local races this year, quickly resolving how election officials should address a clerical glitch that had left the eligibility of those registered voters in question.

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

The decision temporarily resolves a quandary that could have disenfranchised the group and swayed down-ballot races across the state.
