If this bill were to become law, it would introduce a new concurrent memorial urging the U.S. Congress and the President to enact legislation that mandates the inclusion of state-specific instructions on the federal voter registration form, specifically addressing proof of citizenship requirements. This insertion emphasizes the need for the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to recognize state authority over the qualifications to vote and the methods for verifying those qualifications.
The current statutes regarding voter registration and proof of citizenship would remain unchanged, as the bill does not modify any existing legal language. Instead, it adds a new directive that highlights the importance of state-specific regulations in the federal voter registration process, reinforcing the state's plenary power in determining voting qualifications.
