Requires people to show proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections and directs states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls. Expands federal oversight by requiring the Election Assistance Commission to quickly provide updated registration guidance to state officials and allowing faster changes to registration forms by exempting them from certain federal paperwork rules.
Directs the Department of Homeland Security to notify states when individuals become naturalized citizens, helping keep voter records current. Protects eligible voters by allowing provisional ballots to be cast and counted if citizenship is later confirmed. Applies these rules to new voter registration applications submitted after the law takes effect, while keeping most existing state exemptions and maintaining key requirements under current federal voter registration law.
