Donald Trump's Executive Order to Change Election Voting: What to Know - Newsweek
- Voter ID Requirement: The order mandates that prospective voters provide documentary proof of citizenship, such as a U.S. passport or birth certificate.
- Mail Ballots Deadline: Mail-in ballots must be "cast and received" by Election Day, changing the current practice in some states that accept ballots postmarked by Election Day but received later.
- No QR Code Ballots: The order advises against using voting systems that rely on barcodes or QR codes in the vote-counting process, except for accommodating individuals with disabilities.
- Foreign Donations Barred: The order reinforces the prohibition on foreign nationals making contributions or expenditures in U.S. elections, addressing loopholes that have been exploited.
- States should also turn over voter lists and records of voter list maintenance to be reviewed by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Government Efficiency, the order says.
