American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Election Integrity and Voter Confidence Act

HR 4477 establishes new election integrity requirements for District of Columbia elections, directly affecting DC voters and election officials. The bill requires voters to present photo identification at polling places or submit it with mail-in ballots, mandates annual voter list maintenance to remove ineligible voters, and prohibits noncitizens from voting. It also creates requirements for timely reporting of election results, mandatory post-election audits, and restrictions on mail-in ballot handling including signature verification and a 48-hour cure period for signature discrepancies. The bill additionally prohibits third parties from collecting and transmitting mail-in ballots (except for family members or election officials) and sets specific security standards for ballot drop boxes. These requirements will apply to all District of Columbia elections held on or after January 1, 2024.
