Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections

The order directs federal agencies to compile and transmit “State Citizenship Lists” of confirmed U.S. citizens who will be 18+ and reside in each State, using Federal citizenship, naturalization, SSA, SAVE, and other databases, and to update those lists at least 60 days before regular Federal elections or upon request for special elections. It instructs DHS (through USCIS) in coordination with SSA to establish procedures for individuals to access and correct their records, for States to use unique ballot envelope identifiers like bar codes, and for DOJ to prioritize investigations and prosecutions related to Federal election fraud.
