President Trump has announced plans to sign an executive order requiring all voters to present identification when casting ballots. The measure marks a significant shift in election procedures, emphasizing strict verification processes.

The president made the revelation on Truth Social, stating: “Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!! Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!!! President DJT.”

This follows Trump’s March executive order mandating proof of citizenship for federal voter registration. The new directive aims to strengthen election integrity by introducing additional safeguards, particularly in states without existing voter ID requirements. It expands his efforts to overhaul the electoral system beyond registration, potentially impacting millions of voters in jurisdictions that currently allow voting without photo identification.

The move comes as Trump bypasses congressional Republicans, who have been advancing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act), a legislative effort with similar goals. The president’s latest action underscores his commitment to reshaping election protocols unilaterally.
