Prohibition of Private Funding for Federal Elections in the US

New law prohibits states from accepting money or donations from private entities for the administration of federal elections. This means all election-related activities, such as voter education and registration, will be funded solely by public money. An exception is made for accepting donations of space for polling places.
Key points
End of private funding for federal election administration: States can no longer accept money or services from private entities for election-related purposes.
Exception for polling places: Donations of space for polling places or early voting sites are still permitted.
Changes take effect starting with the November 2022 federal elections and subsequent elections.
