Campaign and Election Accountability Act

This legislation, known as the Campaign and Election Accountability Act, seeks to enhance the integrity of U.S. elections by amending the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. Specifically, it introduces a new provision that makes it illegal for any individual to knowingly help or assist a foreign national in violating the existing prohibition against foreign contributions or donations in connection with elections. The amendment targets intermediaries who might facilitate such illicit financial activities, thereby closing a potential loophole in current campaign finance law. This change will apply to all contributions and donations made on or after the bill's enactment date. The overall intent is to further safeguard the electoral process from undue foreign influence.
