They've Banned Voter Registration at Citizenship Ceremonies

Imagine waiting years, spending thousands, following all the rules to finally become an American citizen. When the day arrives, you take the oath surrounded by family and friends, and you’re officially an American.

And then, for more than a century, someone hands you a voter registration form. Until now… since it has been banned by the Administration.

No, I’m not kidding — but then, so little is surprising anymore.

In August, the Trump administration quietly banned nonpartisan groups from helping new citizens register to vote at naturalization ceremonies. Groups like the staunchly non-partisan League of Women Voters — who’ve done this work since 1920 — are now locked out of federal buildings where these ceremonies happen.
