President Donald Trump has signed an executive order mandating proof of citizenship for voting in federal elections, a move that could significantly reshape the U.S. electoral system. The administration argues the measure is necessary to prevent non-citizens from voting, though critics claim it will disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. The order also requires that all ballots be received by Election Day, eliminating extended counting periods. Legal challenges from civil rights groups are expected, with opponents arguing the order could suppress voter turnout. The executive action is likely to face intense scrutiny in the courts before it can take effect.
