AI Summary
This bill, the Democracy Dollars Act, establishes a pilot program where the Federal Election Commission (FEC) will select 3 eligible states to operate a voucher program. Under this program, the states will provide qualified individuals with a $25 "My Voice Voucher" that they can use to make small-dollar contributions to qualified candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives. The states will also establish fraud prevention mechanisms, oversight commissions, and public information campaigns to implement the program. The states will submit reports to the FEC, which will then provide a final report to Congress with recommendations on expanding the program nationwide.
