President Donald Trump said he plans to issue an executive order mandating voter identification for all ballots cast in U.S. elections.
“Voter ID must be part of every single vote. No exceptions!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He also said he intends to restrict mail-in voting, allowing it only for military personnel serving abroad and individuals with serious illnesses.
Election procedures in the United States are largely determined by individual states, though federal laws and court rulings also shape voting regulations.
Legal experts say any executive order attempting to override state authority on election rules would likely face constitutional challenges.
