American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Timely Reporting of Election Results Act

HR 4543, the "American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Timely Reporting of Election Results Act," requires the District of Columbia to process mail ballots immediately upon receipt and report election results publicly by 10:00 a.m. the day after an election. It mandates that DC election officials publish the total number of voted ballots (including mail and absentee ballots) on election day via a public website, showing breakdowns by ballot type. The bill also requires bipartisan administration of election activities, ensuring election workers are accompanied by someone registered with a different political party when handling ballots or equipment. These provisions apply specifically to all District of Columbia elections, including federal races and ballot initiatives.
