President Donald Trump on Monday said that he will sign executive orders targeting mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, adding that such a move is needed to make U.S. elections more honest.

In a statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump signaled that he will take action against voting by mail in the United States—a practice that he has long derided—before the November 2026 midterm elections that will determine which party will have control over Congress.
