Voter Eligibility Verification Act of 2025

This bill would make the Department of Homeland Security share a person’s citizenship or immigration status with states more quickly when states are checking who is eligible to vote. It sets a deadline: DHS must answer these state requests within 15 days. The measure is framed as helping states confirm voter eligibility by getting timely information from federal records, and it is titled the Voter Eligibility Verification Act of 2025 .

Key points:

• Who is affected: State election officials checking lists of potential voters; DHS staff who handle status requests.
• What changes: DHS must provide a person’s citizenship/immigration status to the state within 15 days of the request, instead of responding on an open-ended timeline.
• Why it matters: Faster responses aim to help states confirm who is eligible to vote before elections.
• Short title: Voter Eligibility Verification Act of 2025.
