Bill > HR5046

This bill, the Preventing Election Subversion Act of 2023, aims to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to provide increased protections for election workers and voters in federal elections. The key provisions are: 1) Restricting the removal of local election administrators by statewide election officials, requiring a standard of inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance, and providing a private right of action for local officials who are improperly removed; 2) Establishing requirements for challenges to voter eligibility, including that challenges must be supported by documented personal knowledge and subject to an oath or attestation, and prohibiting challenges on or near the date of an election; and 3) Providing enforcement mechanisms through the ability of the U.S. government to intervene in proceedings to remove local election officials and the ability of local officials to remove such proceedings to federal court.
