President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Tuesday evening restricting mail-in voting, the White House confirmed, directing federal agencies to verify voter eligibility before ballots are distributed. The order mandates the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration to compile a state-by-state list of eligible U.S. citizen voters, with the Postal Service limited to sending ballots only to those approved. This follows Trump’s unproven claims of widespread mail-in fraud in the 2020 election, which he has repeatedly cited as the reason for his loss to Joe Biden. The move aligns with Trump’s push for the SAVE America Act, passed by the House in February, requiring photo ID and citizenship proof to vote, though the Senate has yet to act. The policy shifts mail-in ballot distribution from state election authorities to federal oversight, marking a significant change in voting administration.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday is expected to sign an executive order cracking down on mail-in voting, the White House said.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X that the president will sign the order at the White House on Tuesday evening. Her statement confirmed earlier reporting by the Daily Caller, which said Trump would sign the order. According to the Daily Caller, the executive order would require the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to compile a list of verified U.S. citizens in each state who are eligible to vote. DHS would undertake the effort with the Social Security Administration, the Daily Caller wrote, citing a White House fact sheet. The U.S. Postal Service would then be required under the order to only send mail-in ballots to voters who appear on the list, according to the Daily Caller. Election authorities in each state typically send out mail ballots to voters, not the Postal Service. Trump has long sought to restrict mail-in voting following his loss in the 2020 election to former President Joe Biden. He has repeatedly claimed, without providing evidence, that the election was stolen from him due to fraud in mail-in voting. The order comes after months of pressure on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a measure that would require voters to provide photo identification and proof of U.S. citizenship to vote. The U.S. House voted to approve the measure in February, and the Senate debated it this month without taking a vote.This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.Got a confidential news tip?
