Campaign Legal Center wrote to several agencies encouraging them to deliver on the Executive Order’s directives and identifying ways they can help expand access to the ballot box.

The 2024 presidential election is likely to be one of the most contentious ever. In advance of the 2024 election and to protect the will of the people, Congress must update the Electoral Count Act (ECA) of 1887, an outdated law that provides the primary legal framework for casting and counting Electoral College votes in presidential elections.

The ECA has not been updated since it was first enacted over 130 years ago. During the 2020 presidential election, bad actors exploited archaic language and ambiguities in the ECA to try to overturn the election results. This plan included attempts by partisan politicians to overrule the voters and throw out states’ certified presidential election results.
