Bill > HR1583

This bill, the Alice Paul Voter Protection Act, aims to amend federal law to prohibit interfering with or hindering voter registration. The key provisions are: 1) It creates a new federal crime under Title 18 of the U.S. Code, making it unlawful for any person to corruptly hinder, interfere with, or prevent another person from registering to vote or assisting another person in registering to vote. Violators can face fines and up to 5 years in prison. 2) It requires the Election Assistance Commission to develop and publish recommendations for best practices for states to use in deterring and preventing violations of this new law, as well as existing laws prohibiting unlawful interference with voter registration and voting. 3) It amends the Help America Vote Act to require states to provide information to voters about the prohibitions on unlawfully interfering with voter registration and voting, including how to report allegations of violations. The overall purpose of the bill is to strengthen protections against efforts to hinder or prevent voter registration, a key component of the electoral process.
