This legislation amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 , granting states the option to require applicants to provide proof of United States citizenship when submitting mail voter registration forms. This new authority allows states to incorporate citizenship verification into the registration process for federal elections, supplementing the criteria currently outlined in the Act. The bill specifically modifies sections of the Act to explicitly permit this requirement. Additionally, it includes a technical correction to replace "Federal Election Commission" with the "Election Assistance Commission" in a relevant statutory reference. These provisions are designed to take effect immediately upon the bill's enactment.
