MAKE ELECTIONS GREAT AGAIN! House GOP Intros 'MEGA Act' — an Overhaul Package to Safeguard Elections

posted by Hannity Staff - 1.29.26

House Republicans are rolling out a sweeping election overhaul package ahead of the 2026 midterms, pitching new national standards for federal elections that would tighten voter registration rules, expand voter ID requirements, and restrict several voting methods targeted by election-integrity advocates.

The House Administration Committee on Thursday unveiled the Make Elections Great Again (MEGA) Act, a broad bill that House GOP leaders say is designed to boost voter confidence and standardize baseline election safeguards nationwide.

“Americans should be confident their elections are being run with integrity — including commonsense voter ID requirements, clean voter rolls, and citizenship verification,” Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) said in a statement.

He said the bill’s guardrails “will improve voter confidence, bolster election integrity, and make it easy to vote, but hard to cheat.”

According to a summary, the package includes provisions that would:
• require citizenship verification when registering to vote
• require photo ID to cast a ballot in federal elections
• mandate auditable paper ballots
• require mail ballots to be received by Election Day to count (with an exception for overseas military voters)
• bar universal vote-by-mail systems that automatically mail ballots to all voters
• and ban ranked-choice voting in federal races

Democrats and voting-rights groups have argued similar proposals risk disenfranchising eligible voters—particularly those without ready access to citizenship documentation—setting up a familiar midterm fight in a narrowly divided Congress.

It’s a big swing — and the 2026 election rules fight is officially on.
