Preventing Foreign Interference in American Elections Act
S 4145 strengthens federal election laws by expanding the ban on foreign money in U.S. elections. It prohibits foreign nationals from funding specific activities like voter registration, ballot collection, get-out-the-vote efforts, and election administration - covering both federal and state/local ballot initiatives or referendums. The bill requires organizations to submit certifications under penalty of perjury confirming compliance with these restrictions before reporting contributions or independent expenditures. It also adds new provisions banning individuals from knowingly aiding foreign election interference and includes privacy protections preventing government disclosure of donor identities to tax-exempt organizations.
