EXECUTIVE ORDER 14248 

Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued a revising policy alert/guidance of section 9 in this executive order.

This provides that only state and local election officials are permitted to provide voter registration services at the conclusion of an administrative naturalization ceremony. Nongovernmental entities are not permitted to provide voter registration services at USCIS facilities during naturalization ceremonies.

You may have received an email from LWVUS regarding this policy. There is anticipation that a challenge to this order is in the works. I have been in contact with the Pima County Recorder’s Office, and they are reviewing the order.

Our League is pursuing alternative methods of providing voter registration to our new citizens. We will keep our League members apprised of the situation as it develops.
