News: Court blocks USCIS rule, allowing civic engagement groups to resume voter registration at naturalization ceremonies
News

Civic engagement groups are now able to resume voter registration at administrative naturalization ceremonies. “When people become American citizens, they should be welcomed into full participation in civic life, not met with new barriers,” said Celina Stewart, CEO of the League of Women Voters. “For generations, the League has stood beside new citizens as they take the oath of citizenship and prepare to make their voices heard at the ballot box. Today’s ruling protects that fundamental democratic principle, and we will continue fighting to ensure every eligible voter can participate freely and fully in our democracy.”
