Trump signs big election order mandating citizenship proof, cites India example



Donald Trump has signed a sweeping executive order that will drastically alter American voter registration processes, imposing stringent measures.
(News Agency)- Donald Trump mandates citizenship proof for voter registration in US
Prohibits accepting mail-in ballots received after election day
Democrats call it 'unlawful', move expected to face immediate legal challenges
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order mandating sweeping changes to the US election process, including requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration and ensuring that all ballots are received by election day. The new requirements are expected to face immediate legal challenges.
The order asserted that the US has failed "to enforce basic and necessary election protections" and urged states to collaborate with federal agencies to share voter lists and prosecute election-related crimes. It also warned that states where election officials fail to comply may face cuts in federal funding.
