Voter Population Accuracy Act
HR 6335, the Voter Population Accuracy Act, requires the U.S. Census Bureau to add a citizenship checkbox to the 2030 and subsequent decennial census questionnaires. This change would ask each household member to indicate their U.S. citizenship status when completing the census form. The bill directly affects all households participating in the census, as they would need to provide this citizenship information. The key provision mandates this data collection method to improve the accuracy of population counts used for redistricting and federal funding allocation. This is a data collection change for the census, not a voting eligibility requirement.
