## Summary

**Shifts apportionment from total residents to U.S. citizens and ties federal voting to proof of citizenship and photo ID.** This bill would change how the census is conducted and who counts for seats in the House. - Families and voters: Would require a government photo ID and proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. Provisional ballots are limited to specified cases and the rules would apply to regularly scheduled general elections in November 2026 and thereafter. - States and redistricting: Would add a citizenship checkbox to census questionnaires, allow the Census Bureau flexibility to use sampling and special surveys, set the decennial census date and a mid-decade count at five years, and exclude noncitizens from the population used to apportion Representatives. States would have to redistrict under the first new apportionment for the 120th Congress. - Noncitizens and enforcement: Would create criminal penalties for assisting a noncitizen to vote or for giving a ballot to someone who lacks the required citizenship proof or photo ID. It would also change existing photo ID rules for voters who register by mail under Help America Vote Act provisions.
