(Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court on Thursday reinstated a pair of controversial Arizona election security laws aimed at preventing people from being registered to vote in multiple jurisdictions.

The ruling clears the way for enforcement of provisions that allow counties to cancel registrations of voters who have moved out of state and criminalizes allowing out-of-state residents to vote in Arizona, one of a handful of states that could decide the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election.
