A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that blocks Arizona's proof-of-citizenship requirement for voter registration, stating that it violates the National Voter Registration Act and the Civil Rights Act.

In a related ruling, a New Jersey appeals court determined that the state is not required to include fusion voting options on general election ballots, which poses challenges for third-party candidates seeking greater political influence.
