Read the draft emergency executive order for Trump to take control of elections [View all]

A draft executive order to declare a national emergency to allow President Donald Trump to take unprecedented control over voting is being circulated by anti-voting activists who have said they are in coordination with the White House.

A version of the order, dated April 12, 2025, has been circulating among anti-voting groups, and some progressive groups, since last year.

Peter Ticktin, a Trump ally and a leader of the effort, provided the April 12 version to Democracy Docket. It’s titled: “Establishing Security, Integrity, and Transparency for United States Elections with Protections Against Foreign Interference.”

A social media account affiliated with the Maryland chapter of the Election Integrity Network — the anti-voting coalition led by conservative lawyer and Trump ally Cleta Mitchell — originally posted the April 12 version last spring.
