In a landmark move aimed at restoring faith in the electoral system, former President Donald Trump has signed an executive order intended to strengthen election integrity across the United States. Citing that other nations like India, Brazil, Germany, Canada, Denmark, and Sweden already surpass the US in voter security measures, Trump’s order outlines a series of reforms that include the requirement for proof of citizenship to vote.

Former President Donald Trump takes bold steps to enhance voting security with new executive order emphasizing proof of citizenship.
Highlighting successful practices from around the world, Trump noted that India and Brazil employ biometric databases linked to voter identification, while Germany and Canada favor paper ballots that are counted in person. Furthermore, he praised Denmark and Sweden for their strict limitations on mail-in voting for those who cannot attend the polls on Election Day. “Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic,” the executive order states.
Denouncing the notion of late-counted ballots, Trump described them as “absurd,” arguing that votes should be cast and received by the time the polls close. With the 2024 presidential campaign on the horizon, many anticipate that this order will prompt legal challenges, but Trump remains resolute. His campaign had already mobilized thousands of poll watchers and legal teams to ensure the election process was safeguarded, and now he aims to take those efforts a step further.
Ultimately, Trump’s messaging with this executive order is unambiguous: he envisions a future where American elections are the most secure and transparent in the world, challenging the perception of them as vulnerable and susceptible to fraud.
