Absentee and Mail Voter Protection Act

This bill would cancel Executive Order 14399, a March 2026 presidential order on citizenship verification in federal elections, so that it has no legal effect. It would bar federal agencies and the U.S. Postal Service from spending money to carry out that order or any similar order. It would also bar federal funds from being used to build a national voter registration or citizenship database, to regulate mail-in and absentee ballots, or to decide whether a voter may vote by mail in federal elections. The bill would stop the Department of Justice from using federal funds to sue states to force them to hand over statewide voter registration lists, and it would bar federal agencies from sharing or data-matching those lists.
