To amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to delay for 48 months the deadlines by which States must comply with the election administration requirements of title III of such Act, and for other purposes.

H.R. 3163 proposed a four-year extension for states to meet the federal election standards established by the Help America Vote Act of 2002. This delay would have applied to several key requirements, including the implementation of provisional voting systems, the posting of voter information at polling places, and the transition away from older punch card and lever voting machines. For citizens, the bill would have postponed the nationwide rollout of these modernized voting protections and equipment upgrades, allowing states more time to update their local election infrastructure.
