US President Donald Trump signed an important administrative order on Tuesday, making extensive changes in the US election process. The move has been taken at a time when many questions are raised about the election process in the United States.
Under this directive, documentary evidence for citizenship for voter registration such as a passport will be mandatory, and ensuring that all ballots are obtained within election day. According to Trump, the purpose of this order is to ensure transparency and justice in the elections. Under the directive, now voters can no longer register without documentary evidence for citizenship for voting in federal elections, and it is necessary to obtain all the ballot until the election day.

The main point of the queue
Citizenship Source Required: As for the voter registration, it is now mandatory to submit evidence of citizenship such as passport and submission.
Timeline of Mail-In the ballot: Whether or not it is sent before the election, the postal ballot received after the election day will not be accepted.
Cooperation with states: The directive emphasized the states to cooperate with federal organizations, share voter lists and help investigate the crimes related to elections.
Excluding the rules: If states do not follow these new rules, they can be reduced in federal financial aid.
Debate
President Trump has long been concerned about election irregularities and fraud, especially in the context of the voting of the mail. However, there is no definitive evidence that supports these claims. The order is based on the US voter qualification (savage) law, according to the proponents of the Republican Party, which supports a strict investigation into voter eligibility.
Legal challenges
This administration order will immediately withstand legal challenges. The right to determine the election rules is mainly with the Congress and the states, not the president. The Democrats and the civil society are planning to challenge the court, claiming that the order is illegal.

Review and support
Critics say that this order will lose millions of qualified voters, especially those who do not present identity cards or passports. This is a barrier for minority and lower -aged voters. At the same time, supporters believe that this move is necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of the elections, so that only qualified citizens can vote.
This move is accompanied by Trump’s frequent claims, in which he has spoken about election irregularities and fraud, especially for the voting of the mail. However, there is no documentary evidence for this. Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Refene Parker said, “This directive ensures that only American citizens determine the US elections.”
The people’s anxiety increased
However, voting rights organizations and Democrats have condemned the order and expressed concern over the violation of voters’ rights. According to the 2023 report, it is estimated that 9 percent of eligible American citizens are estimated, ie 21.3 million people have no citizenship sources. In addition, there are problems with registering for married women who have changed names after the birth certificate.
