Citizen Voter Integrity and Federal Election Assurance Act of 2025
Generated by VFA SI Solutions
To make crystal clear that only U.S. citizens may vote in federal elections, and to prevent noncitizens from casting ballots in U.S. congressional and presidential elections.
Bipartisan rationale: Honors Democratic priorities by protecting every eligible citizen's right to vote through explicit due-process safeguards—mandatory 90-day notice, an appeal process, and count-only-after-verification provisional ballots—and by avoiding a divisive constitutional amendment, instead using federal grants rather than unfunded mandates. Honors Republican priorities by making noncitizen voting an effective federal enforcement priority, requiring citizenship verification, penalizing noncompliant states, and ensuring that noncitizens are removed from federal voter rolls.
