President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday cracking down on mail-in voting across the country, the Daily Caller learned first.

The executive order will require the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a list of verified U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote in each state with the Social Security Administration’s help, according to a fact sheet shared with the Caller. The presidential action will also require that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) only send absentee ballots to those on each state’s approved mail-in ballot list. Ballots will now have specific secure envelopes, with unique barcodes for tracking, the order mandates.

The executive order also tells the U.S. Attorney General to prioritize investigating and prosecuting anyone accused of sending ballots to ineligible voters, the Caller learned. States that disobey the order may lose federal funds under the presidential action.

“Election integrity has always been a top priority for President Trump, and the American people sent him back to the White House because they overwhelmingly supported his commonsense election integrity agenda,” Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman told the Caller in a statement.

“The President will do everything in his power to defend the safety and security of American elections and to ensure that only American citizens are voting in them. Congress should also expeditiously pass President Trump’s SAVE America Act to protect elections for generations to come,” she added.

The action comes as the U.S. Senate continues to debate the SAVE America Act. Under the legislation, voters would be required to provide proof of U.S. citizenship and ID, states would be required to clean up their voter rolls and approved reasons for mail-in ballots would be restricted.

The bill was brought to the Senate floor debate on March 17.

The president previously told the Caller he was in favor of using the standing filibuster to pass the legislation. He added that the White House was working very hard to get the legislation through.


Trump has also said he will veto any other legislation until the SAVE America Act is passed.

“It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else,” Trump wrote in a TruthSocial post.

Election integrity has become a focal for the president and his base. The Republican National Committee has built up its election integrity branch over the last few election cycles. In the 2024 election cycle, the RNC filed more than 100 election integrity lawsuits across over 20 states.

The RNC has filed several lawsuits related to regulating mail-in voting over the last year. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Watson. v. Republican National Committee, which debates whether federal law requires mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day.
