Trump's Executive Order Sparks Debate: Proof of Citizenship Now Mandatory for U.S. Federal Elections

President Donald Trump has signed a sweeping executive order requiring voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering for federal elections. The directive also mandates that all ballots be received by Election Day and threatens to withhold federal funding from states that fail to comply. While the administration claims this move will safeguard electoral integrity, critics argue it could disenfranchise millions, particularly those lacking access to proper documentation like passports. Voting rights groups have vowed to challenge the order in court, labeling it a potential attack on democratic participation.
