Preventing Election Subversion Act of 2023
The Preventing Election Subversion Act of 2023 restricts how state officials can remove local election administrators who manage federal elections. It requires removals to be based only on proven inefficiency, neglect of duty, or misconduct - prohibiting politically motivated removals - and allows affected local officials to challenge improper removals in federal court. States must report removals to the Justice Department within 30 days (or 48 hours if near an election) for oversight. The bill also adds new rules to limit last-minute challenges to voter eligibility on Election Day, requiring documented, good-faith challenges with sworn statements.
