President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order aimed at strengthening the regulations surrounding mail-in voting. This move is part of the administration’s ongoing efforts to address concerns about election integrity.

Stay updated with The Post’s comprehensive live coverage on President Trump and national politics to get the latest news and in-depth analysis.

The forthcoming order mandates the creation of an official list of eligible voters in each state. Only individuals appearing on this list will be eligible to receive absentee ballots. Additionally, to improve security and tracking, the ballots will be enclosed in secure envelopes equipped with barcodes.

Meanwhile, financial markets are reacting optimistically, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average surging over 1,100 points. This rally is fueled by President Trump’s comments that have sparked hope among investors that tensions with Iran may soon de-escalate.

“I believe it’s foolproof, and maybe it’ll be tested. Maybe it won’t,” Trump said. “It’s about voter integrity, we want to have honest voting in our country.”
