Voter Vouching Transparency Act

New transparency for voucher registrations

If enacted, States that let one person vouch to register another for federal office would have to file a report after each regular federal general election. The report would go to the Election Assistance Commission and cover the period since the prior regular federal general election. Reports would list: total people who registered using a voucher; total people who acted as vouchers; how many people each voucher vouched for; and total attempted voucher registrations that were rejected, with reasons if the State keeps those records. Reports could not include personally identifying information like names, street addresses, voter ID numbers, phone numbers, signatures, or dates of birth. The bill would define a "voter voucher" as someone authorized by State law to attest to another person’s identity or residence for registration and who does so. The EAC would make each report public for 22 months and may accept the report through the Election Administration and Voting Survey if practicable.
