Mail Ballot Integrity Act

The Mail Ballot Integrity Act would change how mail-in voting works in federal elections. Currently, some states send mail-in ballots to all registered voters automatically. This bill would prohibit that practice and instead require voters to submit a written or electronic request for a mail-in ballot. The bill would allow voters to request mail-in ballots for specific reasons such as illness, disability, military service, or travel, and would establish uniform national standards for mail-in voting in federal elections.

The bill was introduced in the House on March 9, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on House Administration. It has not yet been voted on by the full House. If enacted, the legislation would apply to all federal elections going forward and would represent a significant change from current practices in states that use automatic mail-in ballot distribution systems.
