Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to prohibit the use of Federal funds for election administration in States that permit ballot harvesting.
AI Summary
This bill, the "No Federal Funds for Ballot Harvesting Act," aims to prohibit the use of federal funds for election administration in states that allow the practice of "ballot harvesting." Ballot harvesting refers to the collection and transmission of absentee ballots by individuals other than the voter, which can create vulnerabilities in the chain of custody of ballots and potentially lead to undue influence over voters. The bill proposes to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to withhold federal funds from states that do not have laws prohibiting ballot harvesting, with certain exceptions for election officials, postal service employees, and other authorized individuals, as well as family members, household members, and caregivers of the voter.
