This legislation aims to bolster protections against interference in federal elections by establishing new legal avenues and extending enforcement capabilities. It creates a private right of action , enabling individuals aggrieved by violations of federal laws concerning troops at polls, armed forces interference, or voter intimidation to bring civil actions for declaratory or injunctive relief. Successful plaintiffs in these cases may also be awarded reasonable attorney fees and litigation expenses. The bill significantly extends the statute of limitations to nine years for prosecuting offenses related to troops at polls, interference by armed forces, and voter intimidation. This extended period also applies to certain offenses under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. Additionally, the legislation introduces new restrictions on the seizure of election records and equipment by State or Federal law enforcement. Under these restrictions, election materials generally cannot be seized until any recount, audit, or legal challenge to election results is conclusively resolved. An exception permits seizure if a judge determines there is clear and convincing evidence that such materials are at risk of being destroyed, but they must remain in joint custody, and a strict chain of custody must be maintained. The bill also mandates that election officials grant access to seized records for proper oversight. Furthermore, the act authorizes $50 million in grants for states to establish "qualifying absentee ballot tracking programs" for federal elections. These programs must track and confirm the receipt of mail-in and absentee ballots, making detailed information available to the individual voter. This includes dates for ballot application, ballot delivery status, and whether the ballot was accepted and counted, along with reasons for rejection if applicable. The tracking programs also require that information regarding ballot delivery and acceptance be made available to political parties and voter registration organizations, at cost, to assist in ballot curing efforts. Accessibility for voters is ensured through online access via state or local election websites, or through a toll-free telephone number for offices without an internet presence.
