The Election Security Partnership Act would offer states up to $20 million in additional federal election funding, but only if they agree to share their complete voter registration lists with the Department of Homeland Security at least four times per year. DHS would check the lists against its SAVE database to identify non-citizens on voter rolls. A state's extra funding would be capped at 10% of what it already received under the existing 2026 election security grant program.
State election officials and state governments would decide whether to participate and would receive the funding if eligible; registered voters would have their registration data shared with DHS.
States that decline to share voter data would lose access to the extra funding, though they would keep their regular 2026 grant money. Voters' personal registration information would be transferred to a federal agency for citizenship checks regardless of individual consent.
