Background

Mi Familia Vota is a US Latino civic-engagement organisation that runs voter registration, education and turnout work among Latino communities.

It is best known in the courts for its challenge to Arizona's proof-of-citizenship voting rules, which became Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota at the Supreme Court. The Republican National Committee petitioned for review, and the Court granted it on 29 June 2026, with argument set for 8 December. The case turns on the National Voter Registration Act, including its 90-day limit on systematic removals before a federal election.

The group's significance lies in that litigation. the Supreme Court's ruling will set national rules on how states verify citizenship and when they may remove registrants, which touches every voter-roll programme in the country, including the federal SAVE checks restored in September 2026.
