Bill > HR6513

This bill, the Confirmation Of Congressional Observer Access Act of 2024 or the COCOA Act of 2024, amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to confirm the requirement that states allow access to designated congressional election observers to observe the election administration procedures in congressional elections. Specifically, the bill grants Congress the authority to send congressional election observers to observe polling locations, vote processing and tabulation, and other aspects of federal elections. The bill outlines the rights and restrictions for these designated congressional observers, including allowing them to ask questions but prohibiting them from interfering with the election process. The bill also provides a process for the removal of observers who engage in intimidation, deception, or disruption, while allowing for the replacement of removed observers.
