This bill, titled the "Protect American Election Administration Act of 2025," amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) to restrict the funding sources for federal election administration. Its primary purpose is to prohibit states from soliciting, receiving, or expending any payments or donations from private entities for the administration of elections for Federal office. This prohibition covers various aspects of election administration, including programs related to voter education, voter outreach, and voter registration . However, the bill includes a specific exception, allowing states to accept and use donations from private entities for space to be used as a polling place or an early voting site . These new restrictions will apply to any federal election held after the bill's enactment date, aiming to ensure that federal election administration is funded solely through public sources.
