House Republicans roll out election reform package ahead of 2026 midterms

House Administration Committee Chairman Brian Steil (R-WI) unveiled a bill on Thursday aiming to increase voter integrity in the 2026 elections.

The bill, called the Make Elections Great Again Act, is an effort from the committee to implement baseline standards for administering federal elections through a slew of added requirements, including two that would affect the elections this November, if signed into law, by mandating auditable paper ballots and a ban on ranked choice voting.

“Americans should be confident their elections are being run with integrity — including commonsense voter ID requirements, clean voter rolls, and citizenship verification,” said Chairman Steil. “These reforms will improve voter confidence, bolster election integrity, and make it easy to vote, but hard to cheat.” 

The bill would tighten guardrails for elections to come through
