The Republican Party is urging the nation's highest court to allow Arizona to enforce its proof of citizenship requirements ahead of the November election.

The Supreme Court is being asked to allow enforcement of sections of an Arizona law requiring documented proof of citizenship to cast a ballot in the presidential election, including voting by mail.

The Republican National Committee and state GOP lawmakers have filed an emergency appeal with Justice Elena Kagan, who has jurisdiction over time-sensitive applications from Arizona.

Kagan has the discretion to act alone or bring in her eight colleagues to decide the case, Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota.  

She will likely ask opponents of the law to weigh in with written briefs, which would be due in the coming days. 

A federal judge had blocked enforcement of the law, prompting the appeal to the high court for temporary relief.

A 2013 Supreme Court ruling previously limited when states could impose such restrictions when voting in federal elections.

A high court order on enforcement in the Arizona case is expected in the coming days or weeks.
