President Donald Trump has issued two executive orders aimed at changing election procedures during his second term. The orders address voter registration requirements and mail-in voting. These actions are described as an effort to overhaul how key aspects of U.S. elections are run.
The changes come as the country prepares for upcoming midterm elections. While the executive branch has initiated these changes, they are currently facing challenges in court.
One order, signed in the Oval Office on March 31, 2026, focuses on mail-in voting. The second order relates to voter registration requirements. Both measures are part of a stated goal to overhaul the administration of elections.
What happens next depends on the judiciary; the court challenges will determine the status of these orders as the midterm elections approach.
