HR 6924 United States House · 118th Congress

Federal Bureau of Prisons Voting Assistance Act of 2023

HR 6924, the Federal Bureau of Prisons Voting Assistance Act of 2023, requires the Bureau of Prisons to provide voting assistance to eligible inmates 90 days before elections. It mandates sending voter registration and absentee ballot information via TRULINCS to inmates who are or were residents of states permitting prison voting, and distributing printed forms, instructions, and prepaid envelopes to facility coordinators. The bill also requires posting this information physically at facilities, publishing it online, providing bilingual materials (English/Spanish) where states offer them, and offering disability accommodations for registration support. This applies specifically to inmates in federal prisons who are residents of jurisdictions that allow incarcerated individuals to vote. The bill does not change voting eligibility but streamlines access to voting resources.
