The Absentee and Mail Voter Protection Act would repeal Executive Order 14399, which was issued in March 2026 and directed the federal government to create citizenship verification lists for federal elections and restrict the Postal Service from delivering mail ballots unless states use federal-approved voter lists. The bill asserts that election regulations are the responsibility of Congress and the states, not the President, and argues the executive order would illegally disenfranchise tens of millions of American voters. The legislation prohibits federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, and Department of Justice from using any federal funds to create national voter databases, compile citizenship lists for elections, or compel states to produce voter registration lists. It also bars the Postal Service from using federal funds to regulate mail-in ballots or determine voter eligibility for mail voting. The bill has been introduced with broad Democratic support in the Senate and contains no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines.
