According to Fox News, all 15 Arizona counties have started the “process of verifying and removing noncitizens from their voter rolls.”
In total, it reportedly includes nearly 50,000 registrants who have not provided proof of U.S. citizenship.
“This settlement is a great result for all Arizonans,” America First Legal (AFL) senior counsel James Rogers told Fox News Digital.

Fox News reports:
AFL filed the lawsuit against the 15 Arizona counties last year on behalf of EZAZ.org, and Yvonne Cahill, a registered voter and naturalized citizen, arguing that the counties had not been following a state law that requires proof of citizenship to vote in local and state elections and for the state to do monthly checks of the rolls for noncitizens.
As a result of the lawsuit, the 15 counties have now begun working with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to verify the citizenship status of all registered voters in the state who failed to provide proof of citizenship.
While a 2013 Supreme Court ruling prohibits states from imposing voter registration requirements beyond the federal requirement that registrants must check a box affirming their U.S. citizenship, Arizona residents are still required to provide proof of citizenship to vote in state and local elections.
The Arizona law also requires that county recorders perform a monthly list maintenance to confirm the U.S. citizenship of so-called “federal-only voters,” a list of nearly 50,000 individuals who failed to provide proof of U.S. citizenship and were not allowed to vote in state or local elections.
“It’s a pyrrhic victory knowing Arizona had to be sued into submission before agreeing to follow the law, & take upwards of 50K illegal voters off its rolls,” former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake said.
“I’m happy to see our elections getting fixed, but I want people held responsible for breaking them,” she added.

Per Newsweek:
Counties in Arizona, a state that flipped to President Donald Trump in last year’s election after narrowly supporting former President Joe Biden in 2020, have agreed to work with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to review their voter rolls and verify the citizenship status of voters, according to court documents reviewed by Newsweek.
Newsweek has reached out to a legal representative for the plaintiff and defendant as well as the DHS press team for comment via email on Sunday.
Republicans have long sought stricter voter registration guidelines, saying that it would prevent voter fraud. The Republican-led House on Friday passed the SAVE Act, which stands for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, and, if it becomes law, would impose new federal requirements for proving citizenship when registering to vote.
Critics have pushed back on various voting eligibility and requirement proposals, saying there’s little evidence of widespread voter fraud and new measures would make it more difficult for some Americans to vote.
While some U.S. jurisdictions permit noncitizens to vote in certain local elections, only U.S. citizens, not illegal immigrants or visa holders, are eligible to vote in federal elections.
