Preventing Election Subversion Act of 2023

The Preventing Election Subversion Act of 2023 restricts how statewide election officials can suspend or remove local election administrators who manage federal elections, requiring removals to be based only on "inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office." It allows local election administrators who believe they were improperly removed to sue in federal court and requires statewide election officials to report removals to the Department of Justice with detailed information. The bill also adds new voter protection requirements, mandating that challenges to voter eligibility be documented, supported by personal knowledge, and subject to penalty of perjury. It prohibits challenges to voter eligibility on or near election day unless the voter registered within 20 days of the election. These provisions aim to prevent political interference in election administration while ensuring fair and uniform federal election processes.
