Take Action: Stop Voter Suppression! The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is considering a new rule that could block millions of US citizens from registering to vote. Submit a public comment now – it only takes a few minutes! |
What’s Happening Anti-voter activists are petitioning the EAC to change federal voter registration rules. If they're successful, American citizens would be forced to show specific documents (like passports) when registering to vote. |
Why it Matters Federal law already requires voters to verify their identity and US citizenship when registering. This rule would only make the registration process more complicated and expensive. But these requirements are more than just unnecessary. They would also shut out millions of eligible voters who cannot easily access their documents. |

This proposal would require Americans to present specific, expensive documents to register to vote. Citizenship is already verified by law, and millions of US citizens lack these documents. This change would unfairly block eligible voters (especially rural residents, women, students, people of color, and working families) from registering. I strongly oppose this rule. It does nothing to improve election security and only creates new barriers to voting.

I’m against requiring citizens to submit a passport or other citizenship documents to register to vote. This rule could block millions of Americans from voting. Don’t do it!

I’m an American citizen and I’ve been voting for years. I have a passport, but I know lots of family and friends who don’t! If you agree to this, you’ll be making it harder for them to vote and blocking millions of other Americans from voting. Please don’t go through with this.

I’m a citizen and I’ve been voting for years. Like half of all Americans, I don’t have a passport – I’ve never needed one. If you agree to this rule, you will be blocking millions of Americans like me from voting.
