Protect Honduran Democracy Act
HR 4202, the Protect Honduran Democracy Act, authorizes U.S. support for free and fair elections in Honduras scheduled for November 30, 2025. The bill requires the Secretary of State to create a strategy including funding for independent election monitoring by groups like the OAS and UN, and prohibits misuse of state resources to influence voters. It also authorizes sanctions - such as visa denials - against Honduran officials or others who prevent candidates from running, harass election participants, or misuse legal processes to undermine the election. The legislation allocates $1 million for each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support these efforts, directly affecting Honduran election officials, candidates, and U.S. agencies implementing the strategy.
