LWVN Submits Comments in Opposition to Petition Requiring Proof of Citizenship to Register to Vote
On October 13, 20205, LWVN submitted comments to the Election Assistance Commission in opposition to America First Legal’s petition to require documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) for anyone using the federal voter registration form. We fundamentally disagree with the petition about the utility, legality, and tangible impact of documentary proof of citizenship requirements on the following grounds:
- It is already unlawful for non-citizens to register and vote in federal or state elections.
- DPOC requirements could prevent Americans from voting
- It would impose additional fiscal and resources burden on election officials
- The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) does not allow the EAC to add a DPOC requirement
- The EAC is subject to the strict standards of the NVRA in assessing this petition

Images from Good Trouble Rally
On July 17th, 2025, LWVN joined communities across the country to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the passing of civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis by holding “Good Trouble” rallies to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all. Coined by Congressman Lewis, “Good Trouble” is the action of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change.
We gathered on the steps of Newton City Hall and were joined by Mayor Ruthanne Fuller, Reverend Develin Scott (Pastor of NewCity Church in Newton, Harmony Foundation Board Member, and a resident of Newtonville) , Taylor Lies (Board President, Centre Street Food Pantry), Shaelyn Shields (co-officer of Next Gen Voices and a rising senior at Newton North High School), and many, many other community members.
Out special thanks go to the The Porch Rockers, a Newton-based band, and an offshoot of Newton Family Singers, for sharing their wonderful musical talents with three songs appropriate to the occasion: For What It’s Worth (There’s Something Happening Here), If I Had a Hammer, and Fight Song.
