The bill establishes a new requirement for the verification of United States citizenship for individuals registering to vote in Iowa. Specifically, it mandates that the county registrar must utilize the systematic alien verification for entitlements system provided by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to confirm a registrant's citizenship status before allowing them to register. If the registrar is unable to verify the citizenship of the individual, they are prohibited from registering that person to vote.

Additionally, the bill provides a mechanism for individuals to appeal the registrar's decision if their citizenship cannot be verified. The appeal process allows the registrant to take their case to the district court in the registrar's county, with the court's decision being final. This legislation aims to ensure that only eligible U.S. citizens are registered to vote in Iowa.
