Citizen Ballot Protection Act
To amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to permit a State to include as part of the mail voter registration form a requirement that applicants provide proof of citizenship, and for other purposes.
HB6102, the Citizen Ballot Protection Act, aims to change the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. It proposes that states can require voters to show proof of citizenship when they register to vote through the mail. This means people filling out their voter registration by mail might need to send in documents proving they are U.S. citizens.
This bill would affect all citizens who register to vote by mail in states that choose to adopt this requirement. If passed, it could make the voter registration process more stringent for some people, potentially impacting voter turnout and accessibility. States would have the option to implement this change, so not all voters would be affected.
As of November 18, 2025, the bill has just been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on House Administration. It is in the very early stages of the legislative process, and further actions such as committee reviews, debates, and potential amendments will follow.
