Bill overview
This bill, the Preventing Ballot Drop Box and Mail Fraud Act, aims to increase penalties for submitting fraudulent ballots in federal elections. Specifically, it amends the National Voter Registration Act to impose a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, plus an additional year for each fraudulent ballot, for knowingly transmitting a false or fraudulent ballot through post offices, authorized mail depositories, or ballot drop boxes. The bill also establishes a system for reporting such incidents and requires coordination between state election officials and courts regarding jury recusal based on non-citizenship status.
