Voter Registration Changes: States May Require Proof of Citizenship by Mail.

This bill allows states to add a new requirement for citizens registering to vote using the federal mail-in form. Applicants may be required to provide proof of their US citizenship along with their registration application. While intended to enhance election security, this change could make the mail registration process more complex and require additional documentation from citizens.
Key points
States gain the option to demand proof of US citizenship from applicants using the mail voter registration form.
The change amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 regarding the contents of state mail registration forms.
