Marston v. Lewis

Supreme Court of the United States

410 U.S. 679

Marston et al.  v.  Lewis et al.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona

No. 72-899.  Argued: N/A --- Decided: March 19, 1973

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.


PER CURIAM.
