US EditionTrump Issues Order on Ballot Barcodes Amid Ongoing Debate Over Voting Technology
- President Donald Trump issued an executive order in 2025 targeting ballots with barcodes or QR codes across multiple U.S. States and counties.
- The order followed ongoing concerns and legal battles over voting systems using coded ballots, which have become focal points for election conspiracy theories despite lack of evidence of manipulation.
- Several election officials, including the top election administrator in Georgia and Benton County’s election coordinator, have consistently affirmed the reliability and security of voting systems that utilize coded ballots, citing extensive testing and audits conducted over many years.
- The order directs the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to ban voting machines using these codes but exempts equipment for voters with disabilities and provides no federal funds for transitioning, while facing multiple lawsuits challenging its authority.
- The executive order has prompted debates on election integrity, with some states like Colorado already discontinuing coded ballots, while others cite the high cost of change and emphasize voter confidence in current systems.
