Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections

What it means

This order aims to strengthen election integrity by requiring citizenship verification for voter registration and enforcing Election Day deadlines. It directs federal agencies to help states verify voter eligibility and instructs the Election Assistance Commission to require proof of citizenship for mail-in voter registration.

Expected impact

• Enhanced verification requirements for voter registration, including documentary proof of citizenship
• Increased enforcement against non-citizens attempting to vote in federal elections
• Tighter restrictions on accepting ballots after Election Day
• More rigorous standards for voting systems, including paper ballot requirements
• Improved information sharing between federal and state officials on election violations
• Potential reduction in mail-in voting due to stricter documentation requirements
