President Trump Announces Executive Order Mandating Voter ID, Limiting Mail-In Voting

United States President Donald Trump has declared his intent to sign an executive order that would mandate voter identification for every ballot cast, stating “NO EXCEPTIONS!” The announcement, made on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, also outlined plans to significantly restrict mail-in voting, allowing it only for the severely ill and military personnel stationed far from home.

This move comes as President Trump continues his efforts to overhaul the nation’s electoral system, frequently reiterating unsubstantiated claims that his 2020 election loss was due to widespread fraud. He and his Republican allies have also repeatedly made baseless assertions regarding non-citizen voting, which is illegal and rarely occurs.

The President’s latest declaration follows a previous executive order signed in March of this year, which included requirements for documentary proof of citizenship for federal elections and a strict Election Day deadline for all ballots. However, parts of that order, specifically the proof-of-citizenship requirement, were blocked by a judge in April, citing that the Constitution grants states and Congress, not the President, the authority to regulate federal elections.

Trump’s proposed executive orders to end mail-in ballots and electronic voting machines are positioned ahead of the November 3, 2026, midterm elections. These elections are anticipated to serve as the first nationwide referendum on his domestic and foreign policies since his return to power in January, with Democrats aiming to challenge the Republican majority in both the House and Senate.
