Bill > HR9779

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, ballot processing, tabulation, and other parts of the election process. The bill requires states to provide these designated congressional observers with full access to observe all elements of the election administration procedures. The bill also outlines the conduct of these observers, including restrictions on their activities and the process for removing an observer if necessary. This legislation aims to ensure congressional oversight and transparency in the administration of federal elections.
