Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2025

Key Points

• Bans knowingly spreading false info within 60 days of a federal election if it’s meant to stop people from voting (like wrong polling place, date, or voting rules).
• Targets modern tactics too: using generative AI to create false voting info with the goal of blocking people from voting would be illegal.
• Makes it illegal to interfere with voting or registration in other ways, including setting up a fake polling place or fake ballot drop location that looks official.
• Lets voters and certain election officials sue in federal court to quickly stop deceptive or intimidating actions, and judges may award attorney’s fees.
• Requires the Justice Department to correct false voting information when states and cities aren’t fixing it fast enough, and to report to Congress after federal elections.
