This bill would cancel Executive Order 14399, signed in March 2026, and declare it legally void. It would permanently ban federal agencies from creating national voter registration or citizenship databases, sharing state voter rolls across agencies, or using federal funds to control who can vote by mail. It would also stop the U.S. Postal Service from refusing to deliver mail-in ballots or helping decide whether a voter qualifies to vote by mail.
This bill affects federal agencies including the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, and Commerce, the Social Security Administration, and the U.S. Postal Service. It also affects the roughly 48 million or more Americans who vote by mail or absentee, as well as military members and U.S. citizens living abroad who rely on mail-in voting under existing federal law.
If passed, federal agencies would lose the authority to build or share voter and citizenship databases for election purposes. The Postal Service would be required to continue delivering mail-in and absentee ballots without screening voters for eligibility.
