A federal judge has permanently banned President Donald Trump from implementing most of his executive order on elections, specifically a portion of it which sought to require people to show proof of citizenship when they register to vote.<\/p>

U.S. District Court Judge Denise Caper\u2019s ruling on Wednesday replaces a preliminary injunction she imposed in 2025, in which she temporarily blocked most of Trump\u2019s efforts to revamp elections, into a permanent ban.\u00a0<\/p>

The Associated Press reported that Casper spurned the Trump administration\u2019s argument that the lawsuit to block the changes brought by Democratic state attorneys general was premature since the rules hadn\u2019t yet taken effect.\u00a0<\/p>

Casper noted in her ruling that the Constitution gives states and Congress the power to regulate elections, and that Trump\u2019s requirements violated the separation of powers.<\/p>

Trump\u2019s order would have required people to provide documented proof of citizenship when registering to vote, preventing mail ballots from being counted if they arrive after Election Day, while penalizing states that failed to comply by withholding certain federal funds.<\/p>

Trump signed an elections executive order, months after returning to the White House for his second term.\u00a0<\/p>

Since then, Trump signed another executive order on elections to create a national voter list and restrict mail balloting.\u00a0<\/p>

Trump canceled the signing of a bipartisan housing bill on Wednesday, saying in a social media post that he won’t sign legislation until Congress passes his proof of citizenship requirement for voting.<\/p>
