Citizen Ballot Protection Act
This bill, S 3177 (Citizen Ballot Protection Act), would require states to add a citizenship verification step to voter registration forms. It amends the National Voter Registration Act to allow states to mandate proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote, specifically after federal elections. The change directly affects voters registering in states that choose to implement this requirement. The bill also updates the law to replace references to the Federal Election Commission with the Election Assistance Commission.
