“The Greatest Weapon for
Protecting Elections Is An
Election Code that Ensures
Honesty, Transparency and Accuracy”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – May 14, 2026 – The Election Integrity Network (EIN) today
released its Model Election Laws Handbook, a groundbreaking, comprehensive guide
with Model Election Laws based on the ten principles of election integrity.
“The American voting system is broken. Citizen leaders across America have spent the
past five years studying the problems in state after state, and for the past eighteen
months, have devoted themselves to developing the solutions to those problems. This
Handbook is the collective work of citizen patriots who collectively stood up after 2020
and said, never again!” said Cleta Mitchell, Founder and Chairman of the Election
Integrity Network. “The Handbook moves from principles to action. It is a roadmap for
election statutes and procedures that will, if enacted, ensure honest and transparent
elections and guarantee accurate election results. Imagine that!”
The 116 page Handbook is a complete statutory framework built on the US Citizens
Elections Bill of Rights—ten essential principles distilled from the input of hundreds of
election integrity volunteers, state coalitions, and policy experts, based on their tireless
work since 2021.
The Handbook addresses every critical aspect of election law and administration, from
ensuring only U.S. citizens vote to requiring photo ID for all ballots, restoring Election
Day voting, maintaining accurate voter rolls, mandating secure hand-marked paper
ballots, and enforcing transparency and accountability. And the exact statutory
language to implement each principle.
“The progressive Left has invested billions to reshape election administration in ways
that prioritize outcomes over integrity, eroding public trust and compromising the
consent of the governed. The election framework found in the Handbook will correct the
problems caused by decades of damage inflicted on our country by those who want the
election chaos and insecurity we’ve witnessed in recent years,” said Sharon Bemis,
President of the Election Integrity Network and a former election official in Maine.

materials.
