Does the Arizona Secretary of State’s Unique URL Program allow non-citizens to register to vote?

The Online Voter Registration Unique URL Program, developed by the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office, provides participating organizations with a unique and secure link through which to register eligible voters online. The intent is to increase voter participation and reduce organizations’ reliance on paper registration forms, which in turn helps to minimize the time and labor necessary to process registration applications. 

Registrations submitted through the Unique URL program are processed securely through the ServiceArizona website, also used by the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division to register voters, and are subject to all state and federal laws governing lawful election participation. 

To participate in the program, eligible organizations—including recognized political parties and groups or nonprofits involved in voter registration—must apply and receive approval from the Secretary of State’s Office. Any data they receive regarding registrations cannot be used for commercial purposes, or any purpose other than voter outreach.
