Bill > HR882

This bill, known as the "No Foreign Persons Administering Our Elections Act," would prohibit any state or local jurisdiction from hiring non-U.S. citizens to administer elections for federal offices, such as congressional or presidential elections. The legislation specifically prevents non-citizens from serving in roles that manage or oversee the electoral process, such as election officials, poll workers, or vote counters. The bill would take effect for all federal elections occurring on or after the date of its enactment, meaning that any election jurisdiction found hiring non-citizens for these administrative roles would be in violation of the law. The intent appears to be ensuring that only U.S. citizens are responsible for managing the mechanics of federal elections, with the underlying rationale likely being to maintain the integrity and security of the electoral process by limiting election administration to those with full U.S. citizenship.
