- establishes various requirements for elections in the District of Columbia;
- makes various changes to the EAC; and
- prohibits foreign nationals from making contributions or donations in connection with state or local ballot initiatives or referenda.
The bill also establishes the Twentieth Amendment Section Four Panel, which must recommend to Congress model legislation to resolve any vacancy created by the death of a candidate in a contingent presidential or vice-presidential election.
The bill makes changes to campaign finance, including by (1) repealing limits on coordinated party expenditures, and (2) prohibiting federal funds from being used to make payments in support of a congressional election campaign. It also makes changes to the Federal Election Commission.
