Protecting Ballot Measures From Foreign Influence Act of 2025

This bill amends the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to expand restrictions on foreign influence in U.S. elections. Its primary purpose is to prohibit foreign nationals from making contributions or donations in connection with state or local ballot initiatives and referenda. The legislation modifies Section 319(a)(1)(A) of the existing Act, extending the current ban on foreign national contributions in federal elections to encompass direct democracy processes at the state and local levels. This change aims to prevent foreign entities from influencing ballot measures. The prohibition will apply to all contributions and donations made on or after the date the Act is enacted into law.
