WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) introduced the Mail Ballot Integrity Act, which would safeguard elections by prohibiting states from sending unsolicited mail-in ballots to voters.

This legislation allows voters to request mail-in ballots for reasons such as illness, disability, military service, or travel, and establishes a uniform national standard for federal elections. Read the text here.

"Trustworthy elections are a cornerstone of our Republic. Our bill would end mass delivery of unsolicited mail-in ballots for federal elections," said Rep. Higgins. "President Trump has made it clear that trust in our electoral system must be restored, which includes reforming mail ballot processes and passing the SAVE America Act."

Alongside the introduction of the Mail Ballot Integrity Act, Congressman Higgins sent a letter to President Trump highlighting the legislation and calling for the White House's support.

"In your powerful State of the Union address on February 24, 2026, you articulated the urgent need to eliminate 'crooked mail-in ballots' except in legitimate, limited cases such as illness, disability, military service, or travel…I respectfully ask that you give the Mail Ballot Integrity Act your full and fair consideration," wrote Rep. Higgins.
