Voter Bounty Registration Act of 2007

H.R.301, the Voter Bounty Registration Act of 2007, was introduced in the House by Rep. Pierce (R-NM) to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 and has seemingly gone under the radar. It seems passage of such a measure would greatly inhibit the ability of nonpartisan organizations from carrying out voter registration drives, placing strict standards on the distribution of application forms. Prohibits any individual from distributing a voter registration application form for federal elections in a state if the individual: (1) is not registered to vote in such elections; (2) has been convicted of a felony under any state or federal law; (3) does not sign and print legibly the individual's name on the form; or (4) does not provide identifying information to the election official to whom the form will be submitted.
