Summary

The Vote by Mail Protection Act of 2026 would cancel Executive Order 14399, which sets citizenship‑verification rules for federal elections, and would prohibit any federal agency from spending money on activities tied to that order. It stops any contracts or arrangements agencies have made to carry out the order, effectively ending its enforcement. The sponsors say the move protects mail‑in voting by removing what they view as unnecessary verification requirements.
