Mail Ballot Integrity Act
This bill, known as the Mail Ballot Integrity Act, would require states to stop sending unsolicited mail-in ballots to voters for federal elections. Under the law, individuals must actively request a mail-in ballot by submitting a written or electronic request that includes a sworn statement confirming they meet specific eligibility criteria. The bill limits who can receive these ballots to groups such as active-duty military personnel, students living away from home, clergy, people with disabilities, seniors aged 65 and older, and others with temporary mobility or residency issues. States could maintain lists of voters who previously qualified for mail-in voting, but only if those voters continue to meet the established eligibility requirements. The changes would take effect for federal elections occurring on or after the bill is enacted.
