COCOA-VIP Act

This bill changes a section of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 that deals with congressional election observers. It defines "election for Federal office" in that section to include any general, special, primary, or runoff election held by ballot where candidates for the U.S. Senate or House, including Delegates and the Resident Commissioner, appear on the ballot. This would make clear that observer access under that section covers primary elections. The bill states that states and political parties are not required to give observers access to party conventions, caucuses, or other selection processes that do not use ballots listing candidates for Federal office.
