President Donald Trump said on Sunday he will issue an executive order requiring voter identification for all ballots, declaring there would be “no exceptions.” He also pledged to restrict mail-in voting only to the seriously ill and military members overseas, Reuters reported.

The move reflects Trump’s continued push to overhaul US elections, fueled by his false claims that the 2020 race was marred by fraud. He has also called for replacing voting machines with paper ballots and hand counts, despite warnings from election officials that such measures would slow the process and reduce accuracy.

It remains unclear whether Trump has the legal authority to impose nationwide voting rules, since elections are run by individual states. According to Reuters, the plan is expected to face legal and political challenges as the 2026 midterms approach.
