Referred to the Committee on House Administration, and in addition to the Committees on Oversight and Government Reform, the Judiciary, Homeland Security, and Intelligence (Permanent Select), for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 7300, the Make Elections Great Again Act, is a comprehensive federal elections bill introduced in January 2026 that mandates strict voter identification and citizenship verification requirements, overhauuls election administration procedures, and implements new ballot security measures. The bill requires all voters to present photo ID starting in 2027, mandates documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration, and establishes data-sharing agreements between states and federal agencies (including DHS, FBI, and Social Security) to verify voter eligibility and remove ineligible voters from rolls at least every 30 days. Election administration changes include requiring paper ballots with barcode tracking, restricting mail-in voting to those with advance written requests, limiting individuals to possessing four mail-in ballots at a time, and prohibiting ranked-choice voting in federal elections, with penalties up to $25,000 and 5 years imprisonment for ballot trafficking. States must implement a single statewide computerized voter registration database by January 1, 2027, and comply with federal information-sharing requirements or face withheld federal funding. The bill also creates enforcement mechanisms allowing the Attorney General and private citizens to sue states for violations, with courts able to award attorney fees to prevailing parties.
