Ensuring Faith in Our Elections Act
This bill, "Ensuring Faith in Our Elections Act," establishes new requirements for election administration to strengthen voter eligibility verification and election integrity. It requires states to maintain separate voter lists for non-citizens if they allow non-citizens to vote in state elections, mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration, and prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections. The bill also establishes requirements for photo voter identification, mail ballot processing, post-election audits, and prohibits ballot harvesting (third-party collection of mail ballots). It reduces federal funding for election administration by 30% for states that permit non-citizens to vote. The bill applies to all states and the District of Columbia, affecting how elections are administered and who is eligible to vote.
