Federal Election Changes: New Voter Registration and Voting Rules
This act introduces new rules for voter registration, ballot casting, and tabulation in federal elections. Citizens will need to actively register to vote, provide proof of citizenship and their full Social Security number, and show identification when voting. Rules for mail-in voting and post-election audits will also change.
