If you think only citizen's should be allowed to vote here is an easy Action for you to take
America First Legal (AFL) has filed a critical petition with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (DPOC) for voter registration in federal elections. This common sense measure ensures only American citizens vote, safeguarding our democracy from fraud.
The EAC is accepting public comments on this petition, and your voice is vital. Submitting a comment takes just minutes but can make a lasting impact. Urge the EAC to amend the federal voter registration form to require Documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (DPOC), such as a passport or Real ID.
The current “honor system” allows voter registration without citizenship verification. States face legal battles when trying to enforce DPOC, leaving our elections vulnerable. Evidence shows non-citizens have registered and even voted in past elections.
Submitting a comment is crucial because it ensures public input is part of the federal rulemaking process, as required by the Administrative Procedure Act. Agencies like the EAC must review and respond to substantive comments, which can influence modifications to proposed rules or policies before finalization. This public participation hold agencies accountable and helps shape regulations that reflect diverse perspectives and concerns.

“I urge the EAC to adopt America First Legal’s petition to require documentary proof of citizenship. Evidence from some states shows that non-citizens have been registered to vote, undermining public trust. Documents like a U.S. passport, Certificate of U.S. Citizenship (N-560/N-561) or Real ID- compliant ID are widely accessible. This change is a common sense step to ensure only U.S. citizens determine our nation’s future.”
“I strongly support America First Legal’s petition to require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections. The current “honor system” is insufficient to protect election integrity.. Requiring documents like a U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization (N-560/N-561) or Real ID- compliant ID driver’s license would ensure only eligible citizens vote, prevent fraud and safeguard our democracy.. The EAC must act to close this vulnerability.”
