HR 4798 United States House · 119th Congress

Making American Elections Great Again Act

This bill modifies the U.S. census process to count only U.S. citizens for apportioning House seats and electoral votes, requiring census forms to include a citizenship checkbox. It mandates that voters present both government-issued photo ID and proof of U.S. citizenship (like a birth certificate or passport) to vote in person or by mail for federal offices, starting with the 2026 elections. State election officials must verify citizenship for provisional ballots to count them. The law affects all voters in federal elections and state election administrators, replacing current voter ID requirements with these new citizenship and photo ID standards.
