Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
This bill would require every state to include information about the national debt on all ballots for federal elections. Specifically, each ballot would display the total gross federal debt as calculated by the Treasury Department for the three most recent fiscal years before the election takes place. The bill modifies the Help America Vote Act of 2002, which sets federal standards for voting and elections. The requirement would take effect immediately upon the bill's enactment for all federal elections held afterward, affecting every voter in the country. The legislation does not specify any funding mechanism or require states to allocate resources for implementation beyond including the debt figures on ballots.
