Fraudulent Artificial Intelligence Regulations (FAIR) Elections Act of 2026

The Fraudulent Artificial Intelligence Regulations (FAIR) Elections Act of 2026 prohibits individuals from knowingly distributing false AI-generated media about federal elections or election officials if the intent is to impede voting or harass officials, while allowing news organizations to report on such content as long as they clearly label it as false. The bill also restricts states from removing voters from official registration lists unless the data comes from government sources approved by the Attorney General and updated at least monthly. Additionally, it bars the federal government from comparing its own databases with state or local records to determine voter eligibility and establishes a private right of action for citizens to sue if the government violates this rule. To further ensure accuracy, the Act requires the Government Accountability Office to conduct a study on the impact of using federal databases like SAVE for voter removals and submit its findings to Congress within 180 days.
