Bill > HR137

This bill, the Federal Election Integrity Act of 2019, would prohibit chief state election administration officials from actively participating in political campaigns for federal elections over which they have supervisory authority. The key provisions include: 1. Making it unlawful for a chief state election official to serve on the authorized committee of a federal candidate, use official authority to influence election results, solicit or receive contributions for federal candidates, or engage in other prohibited political activities. 2. Defining a "chief state election administration official" as the highest state official responsible for administering federal elections under state law. 3. Applying these restrictions to federal elections held after December 2019. The bill aims to address potential conflicts of interest and restore public confidence in the integrity of federal elections by preventing chief state election officials from actively participating in the very campaigns they are responsible for overseeing.
