HR 8666 United States House · 119th Congress

Vote by Mail Protection Act of 2026

The Vote by Mail Protection Act of 2026 directly affects the federal government by nullifying Executive Order 14399, which previously required citizenship verification in federal elections. This legislation prohibits any federal agency from enforcing the order or using taxpayer funds to carry out its activities. By repealing the executive order, the bill removes the mandate for agencies to verify citizenship as a condition for voting in federal elections.
