In the United States, **citizenship is legally required** to register and cast a vote in **federal, state, and most statewide and local elections**. However, **proof of citizenship**—such as providing a birth certificate, passport, or naturalization papers—is **not universally required in practice**, and generally not needed unless specified by state law.
---
##
* Federal law (the **National Voter Registration Act of 1993**), uses a **federal registration form** that requires applicants to **attest under penalty of perjury** that they are U.S. citizens. It does **not require documentary proof** of citizenship. ([Ballotpedia][1], [Wikipedia][2])
* As a result, in **most states**, **attesting to citizenship** is sufficient—**no documents are needed** unless the state law says otherwise. ([Law Stack Exchange][3], [Wikipedia][4])
---
##
According to Ballotpedia and recent updates:
* As of **mid‑2025**, **seven states** had passed laws requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register: **Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming**. ([Ballotpedia][1])
* **Kansas’s law** was struck down by court and is no longer enforced.
* **Georgia and Louisiana** have laws on the books but have **not yet implemented** them.
* The only state currently enforcing the requirement is **Wyoming**, which requires proof for **new registrations and updates**. ([Ballotpedia News][5])
* In **Arizona**, proof is still enforced: otherwise applicants become “federal‑only” registrants (able to vote only in federal races if citizenship is not verified). ([politifact.com][6])
* In **all other states**, no documentary proof of citizenship is required—simply checking the citizenship box on the form suffices to register for both federal and state elections. ([Wikipedia][4])
---
##
* In **March 2025**, former President Trump signed an **executive order** and the **House passed** the **SAVE Act** (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act). These measures aimed to require **documentary proof of citizenship** at the time of voter registration for federal elections. ([findlaw.com][7])
* However, **federal courts have blocked key provisions**, ruling they likely overstep presidential authority and conflict with state-managed election processes. Several courts issued **preliminary injunctions** against enforcing the citizenship‑documentation mandate. ([apnews.com][8])

| **Situation** | **Proof of Citizenship Required?** |
|---|---|
| Most U.S. states, using federal or state form | |
| **Arizona (state law enforced)** | |
| **Wyoming** | |
| **Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire** |
##
* **Generally, no.** In most places, registering requires only attesting you’re a citizen.
* Only a **handful of states** explicitly require documentation—and currently, **only Wyoming and Arizona enforce it**.
---
##
* Federal law **preempts state rules requiring proof** with the uniform federal form, according to the **2013 Supreme Court decision** overturning Arizona’s attempt. ([Ballotpedia][1], [Wikipedia][4])
* **Court rulings** have also blocked nationwide enforcement efforts like executive orders or SAVE Act provisions, affirming that states administer election procedures. ([apnews.com][8], [reuters.com][9])
---
##
* **Citizenship is always required** to register and vote.
* But with **few exceptions**, **documentary proof is not required**—a signed statement usually suffices.
* Exceptions exist only in a few states, and currently **only a couple actively enforce** those rules.
* National-level proposals to mandate documents have so far been **legally blocked**.

投票需要验证身份,但不是用证件。而是现场签名,字迹和voter registration时留下的signature比对。如果一个poll worker感觉对不上,会叫负责人来仲裁,如果都觉得有问题,会让你投下provisional ballot。待日后再核查。
这是一个很好的balance, 因为验证件是个很messy的活儿,大部分poll worker没有文件识别的训练。而且给坏人创造了借口证件不对而制造混乱的机会。

关键是很多人没有直接证件证明公民身份
按照川普现在的说法,出生证不是公民身份的证明,因为出生公民权都没了。更不要说那些美国出生,移民其他国家的人
