No Foreign Persons Administering Our Elections Act
HR 882 prohibits states and local jurisdictions from hiring non-U.S. citizens to administer federal elections. It requires all election administrators for federal office (like president or Congress) to be U.S. citizens, applying to elections held on or after the bill's enactment date. This directly affects election officials in all states and localities managing federal races by changing their hiring eligibility rules. The bill does not alter voting rights or election procedures for voters, only the citizenship requirement for those managing the process.
