Idaho governor announces executive order to tighten up voter registration rules

Idaho Governor Brad Little has issued an executive order titled the Only Citizens Will Vote Act, aimed at tightening voter registration processes to ensure that only U.S. citizens can vote. The order authorizes Idaho’s Secretary of State to collaborate with local authorities and the Department of Homeland Security to scrutinize voter rolls and remove non-citizens. This action, prompted by concerns over illegal immigration and election integrity, mandates annual reports on the efforts to maintain clean voter rolls and restricts state agencies from providing voter registration services to non-citizens.
