State and local election officials question agency about Trump's attempt to overhaul operations

Summary

79% Informative

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission is tasked by President Donald Trump with implementing parts of his sweeping election overhaul executive order.

The commission is at the center of Trump ’s March 25 order that directs the commission to update the national voter registration form to include a proof-of-citizenship requirement and revise guidelines for voting systems.

The order outlines acceptable documents as a U.S. passport, a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or official military ID that “indicates the applicant is a citizen,” or a government-issued photo ID accompanied by proof of citizenship.

The requirement has caused widespread concern that it will disenfranchise millions of voters who don’t have a passport or ready access to their birth certificate.
