Bill > HR723

This bill amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to prohibit states from soliciting, receiving, or spending any funds, property, or personal services from private entities for the administration of federal elections, including voter education, outreach, and registration programs. The only exception to this prohibition is that states can still accept donations of space to be used as polling places or early voting sites. The bill, titled the "Protect American Election Administration Act of 2025," aims to prevent private organizations from financially influencing the administration of federal elections by creating a new section (Section 305) in the original law. The amendment will apply to all federal elections held after the date of the bill's enactment, and the enforcement provisions of the Help America Vote Act will be updated to include this new prohibition. By restricting private funding in election administration, the bill seeks to maintain the independence and integrity of the electoral process at the state level.
