What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Voter Eligibility Verification Act of 2025," aims to change how the Secretary of Homeland Security handles information requests from states. It requires the Secretary to promptly provide information regarding an individual's citizenship status. Specifically, this includes providing immigration status for individuals appearing on lists of potential voters. This information must be provided within 15 days of a request from a State's Attorney General or Secretary of State.
