Marston v. Lewis


No. 72-899


Decided March 19, 1973
410 U.S. 679

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Syllabus

Arizona’s 50-day durational voter residency and registration requirements as applied to other than presidential elections held constitutionally permissible, in light of Arizona’s special problems arising from the State’s legitimate needs to correct registrations accomplished by volunteer personnel and to interrupt registration work to take care of activities occasioned by its fall primaries.

Reversed.
