Ensuring American Voters Act of 2023

H.R. 487, the Ensuring American Voters Act of 2023, would require individuals to provide physical documentation of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Under this proposal, states would be prohibited from processing new voter registrations unless the applicant presents proof such as a birth certificate or passport. For citizens, this would mean that simply signing an oath of citizenship would no longer be sufficient to register; instead, they would need to provide specific legal documents to establish their eligibility.
