The Maricopa County Republican Committee is calling on Arizona state congress members to run a bill that mandates calling voter registration cards by a more accurate name.

“Will one or both of your members please run a bill that mandates all 15 Arizona County Recorders replace erroneous so-called “Voter *ID* Card” terminology, misrepresenting what are, in fact, Voter *Registration* Cards?,” a Sunday Tweet reads.

“The new ID cards will look exactly like the regular cards but will include a note that indicates the boundary changes,” Richer said.

Voter IDs are a “long & strongly established principle” in Arizona, according to the Maricopa County Republican Party.

According to Maricopa County Republicans, the Arizona Elections Procedures Manual refers to voter registration cards as such, rather than as a “Voter ID” or “Voter ID Card.” The terms should not be used interchangeably, according to the Republicans.

Arizona voters are required to show a valid government-issued ID, as well as a voter registration card.
