To amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require information on the national debt to be included on ballots in elections for Federal office, and for other purposes.
HR 9504 would require states to include a statement on ballots for federal elections showing the total gross federal debt for the three most recent fiscal years, as calculated by the Treasury Secretary. This applies to all federal elections held on or after the bill's enactment date. The bill amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to add this requirement to ballot design, directly affecting voters in all federal contests. It does not change voting procedures or eligibility, only adding specific debt information to the ballot.
