No Foreign Persons Administering Our Elections Act

# No Foreign Persons Administering Our Elections Act (HR 882) Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prohibit states and local governments from hiring noncitizens (people who are not U.S. citizens) to work in roles that administer federal elections. This would apply to election administration jobs at the state and local levels that handle tasks related to federal elections, such as election officials, poll workers, or other election staff positions. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect state and local election offices and any noncitizens currently employed or seeking employment in federal election administration positions.

It could also impact election administration operations in jurisdictions that rely on noncitizen workers for election-related tasks. **Current Status** As of now, HR 882 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative August Pfluger (R-TX).
