Phoenix, AZ, October 23, 2026 —

A judge in Maricopa County, Arizona, has urged both sides to settle a dispute involving 24 voters who were marked as ineligible to vote. The disagreement concerns what evidence of citizenship is required by the Maricopa County Recorder’s office and whether the standard of proof for voters raises concerns for the Attorney General’s office.

The available information does not identify the judge, the parties involved beyond the county Recorder’s office and the Attorney General’s office, or the date of the judge’s remarks. It also does not explain how the 24 voters were marked ineligible, what documentation was requested, or what standard of proof each office supports.

The judge’s suggestion that the sides settle indicates that resolving the dispute through an agreement has been raised. However, no proposed settlement terms or response from either side are provided. The information does not say whether the parties accepted the suggestion, whether a settlement was reached, or whether the dispute will proceed through further court action.

The central issue, as described, is the relationship between the Recorder’s citizenship-evidence requirements and the Attorney General’s concerns about the proof standard applied to voters. No further details are available about the legal arguments, the status of the 24 voters, or how the disagreement may affect them. The outcome therefore remains unclear based on the information provided.

Neither a hearing schedule nor any court ruling on the underlying dispute is specified. The available account also does not state whether the voters’ eligibility has been individually reviewed or whether any action has been taken concerning their status.
