Election Infrastructure Integrity Act
Election Systems: Public Database of Private Vendors
The Election Infrastructure Integrity Act was recently introduced in the House and is currently being reviewed by the Committee on House Administration. It is in the early stages of the legislative process and is considered active. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
The bill currently only has Republican support and faces a difficult path in a divided Congress where election laws are highly debated.
Key Points
- This bill would create a public list of all private companies that help run federal elections. People would be able to see which companies provide voting machines, voter registration websites, and systems used to report results.
- States and local governments would be required to report these vendors to the federal government within 30 days after an election. They must share the names of the companies, the basic terms of their contracts, and details about who owns them.
- The plan aims to make election systems more transparent by showing if any foreign companies or individuals have ownership stakes in the technology used to count American votes.
- If a state refuses to share this information, it could lose its federal funding for running elections. These new rules would start with the 2026 elections.
