The Secure American‑Made Voting Machines Act would change federal election law to require that voting machines used in federal elections be manufactured in the United States. It adds a new requirement to the Help America Vote Act, giving states a deadline of the November 2022 general election to begin using only U.S.-made machines for that election and all future federal contests. The bill primarily affects state election officials and voting‑machine vendors.

  • Amends the Help America Vote Act to add a new paragraph stating that, by the November 2022 federal election, each state must seek to ensure any voting machine used is manufactured in the United States.
  • Applies the requirement to that election and to all subsequent federal elections.
