President Donald Trump Issues Executive Order Restricting Mail-In Voting Procedures Across Federal Elections.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 19, 2025) — President Donald Trump has signed a formal executive order imposing new restrictions on mail-in voting procedures for all federal elections. The order mandates stricter voter identification requirements and earlier return deadlines for absentee ballots. This directive was issued earlier today from the Oval Office, citing concerns over election integrity. The president stated the measure is necessary to prevent potential fraud, though no widespread evidence of such fraud has been presented by the administration. The order will affect upcoming primary elections scheduled for later this year.
