Federal agencies involved with elections would be barred from entering data-sharing agreements with overseas organizations under legislation introduced by Rep. Greg Steube (R., Fla.).
The No Foreign Election Partnership Act (H.R. 4866, 119th Cong. (2025)) would prohibit the Federal Election Commission, the Election Assistance Commission, “or any other entity of the Federal government responsible for the administration of elections for Federal office” from entering into “any agreement with an international organization that involves data sharing or such international organization holding an advisory role with the election agency,” according to its text.
“Election integrity starts with securing the vote from foreign interference,” Rep. Steube said in a news release. “International organizations have no business accessing critical voter data or filling essential roles in American elections. My bill will strengthen the integrity of our elections by barring federal election agencies from entering data sharing and advisory agreements with foreign groups.”
