The Citizen Ballot Protection Act would modify federal voter registration rules to allow states to require mail-in voter registration applicants to provide proof of U.S. citizenship. Currently, the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 restricts what states can require on mail registration forms, but this bill would create an exception permitting states to add citizenship verification as part of their registration process. The legislation would affect any state choosing to implement such a requirement and would apply to voters registering by mail for federal elections. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment with no separate funding provisions specified. The bill was introduced in November 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Administration for review.
