Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Workforce, 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.
The Protect our Ballots Act of 2026 would require tax-exempt nonprofits that pay individuals to work on political activities—such as campaigns, voter mobilization, or political management—to use the E-Verify system to confirm their employees' legal work authorization. The bill specifically targets 501(c)(3) nonprofits that engage in political work, making E-Verify participation mandatory for these organizations rather than optional. The legislation does not specify new funding allocations or implementation timelines beyond requiring compliance with existing E-Verify program terms. The bill was introduced in February 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee and Education and Workforce Committee for consideration. The effect would be to extend employment verification requirements to political nonprofits, which are currently not obligated to use E-Verify.
