. Arizona Proposition 200 is a citizens' initiative to require proof of citizenship to register to vote, photo ID to vote, and proof of eligibility for non-federally mandated public benefits (welfare). The Proposition 200 (Protect Arizona Now) voter initiative was conceived and directed by Arizona residents. Proposition 200 will implement measures to protect the integrity of the voter rolls against corruption and fraud and will prevent public agencies from accepting insecure identification cards to show eligibility for public benefits, unless the issuing agency has verified the immigration status of the cardholder.
