Starting with elections held on or after November 1, 2026, this bill would create a two-track voting system in Utah: registered voters who provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship — such as a driver license number that verifies citizenship, a birth certificate, passport, naturalization documents, or tribal enrollment number — would receive a standard ballot with all races, while voters who do not provide such proof would only be allowed to vote in federal races (President, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House). The bill would also let election officers independently review voter registration records to determine whether a registered voter is not a U.S. citizen; a voter flagged this way would be notified and given a chance to dispute the finding, and could be barred from voting or removed from the rolls if they do not successfully challenge it. Voter registration forms and related materials would be revised to explain the citizenship-proof requirement, list the accepted forms of proof, and note that failing to provide proof limits a person to federal-only voting, while a person who registers using the federal voter registration form would also be limited to a federal ballot unless they separately provide citizenship proof. The bill would additionally adjust deadlines for curing rejected or provisional ballots — including those missing citizenship documentation — tying the deadline to the last business day before the official canvass rather than the Monday after election day.
