Bill > HR9144

This bill, the Let America Vote Act, has several key provisions: 1. It requires states to allow unaffiliated (independent) voters to participate in primary elections for federal office, except that they can only vote in the primaries of one political party. It also restricts states from sharing information about unaffiliated voters with political parties or others who may use it for political purposes, and prohibits treating unaffiliated voters as affiliated with a party solely based on their participation in that party's primary. 2. It conditions a state's use of federal election administration funds on the state allowing unaffiliated voters to participate in primaries for state and local offices, and applying the same restrictions on sharing and treating unaffiliated voter information as for federal primaries. 3. It provides transition assistance grants to states to help cover the costs of allowing unaffiliated voters to participate in primaries. 4. It establishes a policy that no non-citizens shall be permitted to vote in any taxpayer-funded elections, and prohibits states from using federal election funds if they allow non-citizens to vote in state and local elections.
