AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar states and local governments from sending mail-in ballots for federal elections to anyone who has not asked for one. To get a mail-in ballot for a federal election, a voter would have to submit a written or electronic request stating, under penalty of perjury, that they meet at least one listed eligibility reason. Listed reasons include active-duty military service, being away from one's home county for school, clergy work, or travel, living outside the U.S., hospitalization, certain disabilities with documentation, and being age 65 or older. States could keep lists of voters who previously requested mail-in ballots only for voters who still meet one of these reasons. The rules would apply to federal elections held after the bill becomes law.
