Bill overview
The RACE Act aims to ensure timely and reliable election results by setting deadlines for states to count ballots and certify election outcomes following federal elections. Specifically, states must finish counting ballots by 10:00 p.m. on election day and certify results within 48 hours. The bill includes exceptions for emergencies or technical issues that might prevent a state from meeting these deadlines. This legislation is part of a larger effort to improve election administration and public confidence.
