Bill > HR6102

This bill amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to allow states to modify their mail voter registration forms by requiring applicants to provide proof of their United States citizenship when registering to vote. Specifically, the bill permits states to add an additional requirement to the standard voter registration form that asks applicants to demonstrate their citizenship status, which goes beyond the existing voter registration criteria. The bill also makes a technical correction by replacing a reference to the Federal Election Commission with the Election Assistance Commission. The legislation, named the "Citizen Ballot Protection Act," would take effect immediately upon enactment, giving states the option to implement citizenship verification as part of their voter registration process. The purpose appears to be enhancing the integrity of voter rolls by ensuring that only U.S. citizens can register to vote through mail-in registration forms.
