Summary
On March 25, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14248, aimed at tightening election security by enforcing stricter voter identification and citizenship verification requirements. The order mandates documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and prohibits counting ballots received after Election Day, aligning with federal election laws. This move could lead to significant legal challenges from states that currently have more lenient voting regulations and may spark political debate over federal versus state control in election processes.
