Bill > HR5053

This bill, the Protecting Election Administration from Interference Act of 2021, aims to enhance protections for election records, papers, and equipment. It amends the Civil Rights Act of 1960 to require the preservation of electronic records, papers, and election equipment related to federal elections. The bill also provides guidance on compliance with these requirements, including protocols for enabling observation of the preservation, security, and transfer of these materials. Additionally, it establishes a right of action for the Attorney General, a representative of the Attorney General, or a federal candidate to compel compliance with the record preservation requirements. Finally, it expands criminal penalties for intimidation of efforts related to the processing, tabulation, canvassing, or certification of voting results.
