Election Reform Commission Act of 2001

H.R. 561, the Election Reform Commission Act of 2001, proposed the creation of a 12-member bipartisan commission to conduct a comprehensive study of the American electoral system. The commission was tasked with investigating issues such as voter registration, ballot consistency, and the accuracy of voting technology following the 2000 presidential election. Its primary goal was to provide recommendations to Congress and the President on how to modernize election administration and ensure that every eligible citizen's vote is accurately counted.
