Fortifying Lawful Elections and Democracy Accountability Act of 2023 or the FLED Accountability Act of 2023 This bill bars foreign government officials who knowingly undermined elections from entering the United States.

The Department of State may waive this prohibition if the waiver is in the national interest of the United States.
