USCIS policy guidance: Non-Governmental, Nonpartisan Organization Voter Registration Services at Administrative Naturalization Ceremonies
Published · Updated
Official excerpt
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is rescinding the August 29, 2025 policy, Voter Registration at Administrative Naturalization Ceremonies, PA-2025-21, and reinstating policy guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual to permit nonprofit and nonpartisan non-governmental organizations to participate in administrative naturalization ceremonies. Such organizations may participate by distributing and collecting voter registration applications and officially registering new citizens to vote immediately following the ceremony, when state and local election offices are not available to do so.
