US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday, citing India’s biometric voter ID system as a model for US election reforms. The order mandates citizenship verification, federal-state coordination, and strict enforcement against non-citizen voting. It also requires voter registration lists to be regularly updated and prohibits non-citizens from handling election processes. Trump emphasized “free, fair, and honest elections,” ensuring ballots are counted accurately and without fraud. The order also enforces Election Day deadlines and tightens security against foreign interference. States failing to comply with federal election laws risk losing funding.
