Termination of Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity

What it means

Officially terminates the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity that was established in May 2017. The order revokes Executive Order 13799, which had created the commission.

Expected impact

• Ends the controversial commission that had been investigating alleged voter fraud in the 2016 election
• Relieves states from responding to commission requests for sensitive voter data
• May reduce tensions with state election officials who had resisted the commission's work
• Critics of the commission will likely view this as a positive development
• Commission's work may continue in other forms through different agencies
