Restoring Integrity to America's Elections Act
Summary
The Restoring Integrity to America’s Elections Act (H.R. 2931) aims to overhaul the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to reduce partisan gridlock and improve the enforcement of campaign finance laws. The bill would change the commission’s structure from six members to five, ensuring that no more than two members belong to the same political party and effectively preventing the even-split tie votes that often stall agency actions.
For everyday citizens, this legislation is designed to make the oversight of federal elections more efficient and accountable by streamlining how the FEC investigates potential violations. By creating a new "Blue Ribbon Advisory Panel" to recommend nonpartisan nominees and strengthening the role of the FEC Chair, the bill seeks to ensure that campaign finance rules are enforced more consistently and transparently.
