Republican Push for Proof of Citizenship to Vote Proves a Tough Sell in the States

  • Efforts to require proof of citizenship to vote have progressed unevenly across several Republican-led states in 2025, including Texas, Missouri, and Kansas.
  • These efforts follow President Trump’s executive order and related constitutional amendments establishing citizenship as a voting requirement, though some were blocked by courts or stalled in legislatures.
  • Supporters argue the requirements improve election confidence, while opponents say they impose burdens that could prevent eligible U.S. Citizens from voting, as seen in Kansas where nearly 30,000 registrants were blocked.
  • Republican Senator Ben Brown noted legislative time constraints delayed Missouri’s bill, which he plans to reintroduce, while Democrat Rep. John Bucy criticized similar Texas legislation as unnecessary and flawed.
  • Despite increasing state-level proposals, most have failed or stalled, and federal proof-of-citizenship legislation lacks sufficient Senate support as voting by noncitizens remains illegal and rare.
