Global Electoral Exchange Act of 2024

The Global Electoral Exchange Act of 2024 creates a U.S. government program to fund international exchanges of election administration knowledge between American and foreign election officials. It authorizes $5 million annually (2025-2029) for the State Department to award grants to U.S. nonprofit organizations with election expertise, enabling them to arrange training sessions where foreign officials visit the U.S. to learn about American election procedures or U.S. officials travel abroad to study election management in other countries. The exchanges must focus on improving election cybersecurity, transparency, voter access, and dispute resolution - without observing elections or advocating for specific outcomes. The program requires annual congressional reports detailing its activities, grantees, and progress toward these goals.
