The American Civil Liberties Union’s request to extend the deadline for curing ballots was turned down by the Arizona Supreme Court over the weekend. 

The ACLU filed an emergency petition on Saturday, raising concerns that thousands of mail-in ballots would not be processed by Arizona’s deadline of Nov. 10 at 5 p.m. MST. 

The group stated that voters wouldn’t know there was an issue with their ballot and wouldn’t know to cure it.

The Arizona Supreme Court rejected the petition, arguing that no county in the state requested an extension for curing ballots, according to The Hill.

“Thus, the Court is not presented with evidence that any voters will be prevented from curing a defective ballot by today’s 5:00 p.m. deadline. In short, there is no evidence of disenfranchisement before the Court,” the order states.

The League of United Latin American Citizens was involved in filing the petition along with the ACLU.

“We encourage voters to check their ballot status. We will continue to advocate to make sure all votes are counted,” the ACLU of Arizona said.
