Restoring Faith in Elections Act

The Restoring Faith in Elections Act establishes federal standards for mail-in voting, requiring standardized request processes, secure ballot handling, and specific ballot requirements like signature verification and timely submission. It mandates automatic voter registration systems that use government agency data (such as DMVs and social services) to register eligible citizens, with the option to opt out, while including privacy protections for voter information. The bill also creates a National Deconfliction Voting Database to improve voter registration accuracy, requires standardized election administration procedures across jurisdictions, and provides $500 million in funding for implementation. These provisions aim to enhance election integrity, accessibility, and accuracy for all eligible voters in federal elections.
