Executive Order 14399, titled Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections, is an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on March 31, 2026, which states that the right to vote in federal elections is reserved exclusively for United States citizens and directs measures to verify voter eligibility and enforce federal election law.[1][2][3]
In March 2026, President Trump was reported to have called for the federal government to "take over" elections, impose national rules, and override state authority in administering elections.[4] The order was issued amid Senate debate over the SAVE America Act, legislation backed by Trump and Senate Republicans that would require proof of citizenship to register and government-issued photo identification to vote in federal elections.[5] The order also proposed tying federal election funding to whether states complied with the new voter verification requirements.[6]
