What it does
The Citizen Ballot Protection Act would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to allow states to require proof of U.S. citizenship as part of the mail voter registration form, specifically after federal elections. It would affect individuals registering to vote by mail in participating states, mandating that they provide documentation of citizenship if their state chooses to implement the requirement. The bill also updates the administering agency from the Federal Election Commission to the Election Assistance Commission and takes effect upon enactment.
