Florida Lawmakers Pass Citizenship Proof Voting Bill, Sparking Debate and Legal Challenges
Florida lawmakers have approved a bill mandating voters to present proof of U.S. citizenship at the ballot box, with the changes set to take effect in January 2027. The bill, which passed along party lines, also requires candidates to disclose dual citizenship and stock trading plans, and tightens voter ID rules, excluding student IDs and those from retirement homes. Republicans argue the bill enhances election security, while Democrats label it voter suppression, particularly for college students and seniors without drivers licenses. Legal challenges are expected, and the bill mirrors a federal voter eligibility bill while preserving Floridas mail-in voting.
