People could face lawsuits or criminal penalties for lying or using intimidation to stop others from voting in federal elections. The bill also lets the Attorney General send official corrections when false voting information spreads and local officials do not fix it.

Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Latest action on H.R. 4894: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects voters, election workers, campaigns, advocacy groups, online speakers, and people who spread election information. Voters could get more protection from lies and intimidation. Campaigns, groups, and individuals could face lawsuits or criminal penalties if they knowingly spread false voting information to stop people from voting. Election officials and workers could get stronger legal tools against intimidation.
Why this matters: False voting information can keep people from casting a ballot. This bill tries to stop that by setting federal rules against election lies, fake voting sites, and intimidation. It also gives the federal government a role in correcting false information before it spreads too far. The impact would depend on how courts, private lawsuits, and the Justice Department apply the law.
