Protect American Election Administration Act of 2025
HR 723, the Protect American Election Administration Act of 2025, prohibits states from accepting or using funds, property, or services from private entities for administering federal elections. This directly affects state election offices, which would no longer be allowed to take private donations for activities like voter education, outreach, or registration. The bill includes an exception allowing states to accept private donations of physical space for polling places or early voting sites. It amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to add this prohibition, effective for federal elections after the law's enactment.
