Stricter Penalties for Election Fraud and Voter Citizenship Verification
This act introduces significantly harsher prison sentences and fines for knowingly submitting fraudulent ballots via drop boxes or mail. It also mandates courts to inform election officials about individuals excused from jury duty due to non-citizenship, aiming to update voter rolls. Citizens will also have a new system to report suspected election fraud incidents.
Key points
Increased Penalties: Knowingly submitting a fraudulent ballot can result in up to 20 years in prison, plus an additional year for each such ballot.
Fraud Reporting System: The Attorney General will establish a hotline and online portal for reporting incidents of fraudulent ballot transmission.
Citizenship Verification: Courts will notify election officials of individuals recused from jury service due to non-citizenship, helping to remove ineligible voters from lists.
