Trump’s Bold Move: Citizenship Proof Now Mandatory in US Elections

In a seismic shift to the American electoral landscape, former President Donald Trump has once again made waves by ordering a sweeping overhaul of the US election system. As of March 26, 2025, his latest directive mandates proof of citizenship for all voters, a move he claims will safeguard the integrity of democracy. Supporters hail it as a long-overdue reform, while critics argue it could disenfranchise millions, setting the stage for a fierce legal and political battle ahead.

Big decision by Trump: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order mandating sweeping changes to the US election process, including requiring documentary proof of citizenship. The new requirements could face immediate legal challenges.

Trump's Bold Move

The order stressed that the US has 'failed to implement basic and essential election security' and urged states to share voter lists and cooperate with federal agencies to prosecute election-related crimes. It also warned that states where election officials fail to comply could face cuts in federal funding, news agency AP reported.

Trump's New Rule
The action is consistent with Trump's persistent claims of election irregularities and fraud, particularly with regard to mail-in voting, which he has repeatedly criticized despite minimal evidence of documented fraud.
