Trump signs election order, calls for proof of US citizenship to vote

Published on March 26, 2025 at 09:52 AM

President Donald Trump of the United States on Tuesday signed an executive order that would require voters to prove they are US citizens and attempts to prevent states from counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day.

The order also would seek to take federal funding away from states that do not comply.

The president has long questioned the US electoral system and continues to claim that his 2020 loss to Democratic President Joe Biden was the result of widespread fraud.

Trump and his Republican allies also have made some claims about widespread voting by non-citizens, which is illegal and rarely occurs.

Last year, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives approved a bill that would ban non-citizens from registering to vote in federal elections, a practice that is said to be already illegal.

The order of the White House seeks to achieve similar goals.

“We've got to straighten out our elections. This country is so sick because of the elections, the fake elections and the bad elections, we're going to straighten that out one way or the other,” Trump said as he signed the order at the White House.
