Protect American Election Administration Act of 2025

This proposal would stop states from taking private money, goods, or free labor to run federal elections. That includes money for voter education, outreach, and registration. The only allowed exception is when a private group lets a state use space for a polling place or early voting site for free, like a church hall or community center. This is meant to keep election funding public, not private. The official title says it amends federal voting law to make this ban clear and enforceable.

Key points:

• Who is affected: State election offices and voters in federal elections.
• What changes: States could no longer accept private money, goods, or services to run federal elections, except donated space for polling locations.
• Practical impact: Election offices would rely on public funds, which could change how programs like voter outreach are paid for.
