Arizona’s governor on Thursday signed into law a bill that aims to strengthen election integrity with new requirements to ensure only U.S. citizens vote in elections held in Arizona.

The measure, House Bill 2492, requires voters in Arizona to provide proof of citizenship and residency to be eligible to vote.
