Mail Ballot Integrity Act

Tighter mail ballot rules for voters

This bill would restrict who can get a mail-in ballot for Federal elections. You would only get a mail ballot if you submitted a written or electronic request that includes an affirmation under penalty of perjury that you meet one or more listed reasons. The bill lists specific reasons, including active-duty service members and their families; students and faculty living outside their county; clergy assigned away from their county; people temporarily absent during early voting and on election day; recent movers more than 100 miles from their former county seat; some hospitalized or institutionalized voters; U.S. residents abroad; participants in State address‑confidentiality programs; incarcerated people not serving felony sentences; people with documented disabilities; and people age 65 or older. States and localities would be banned from sending mail ballots to anyone who did not request one, and States could keep lists of prior requesters only for voters who still meet one or more of the listed criteria. These rules would apply to Federal elections held on or after the date the Act is enacted.
