Alabama Legislature Passes HB 214 to Ban Foreign Influence in State Elections

Secretary of State Wes Allen applauds lawmakers after bill targeting foreign political spending clears the Alabama Legislature and heads to the governor’s desk.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. | Alabama lawmakers have approved legislation designed to prevent foreign nationals and foreign corporations from influencing elections in the state, marking a significant step in the ongoing national debate over election security and political transparency.

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen, the state’s chief elections official, praised the Alabama Legislature this week after lawmakers passed House Bill 214 (HB 214), which prohibits foreign entities from directly or indirectly contributing money to political candidates, political action committees (PACs), and ballot issue campaigns.

The legislation, which now awaits the governor’s signature, aims to close perceived loopholes in federal law that critics say have allowed foreign-linked funding to flow into ballot initiative campaigns across the United States.

“Alabama’s hardworking men and women deserve elections that are funded honestly and transparently,” Allen said in a statement following the bill’s passage. “This legislation protects Alabama elections from potential manipulation by foreign actors with agendas that do not prioritize American interests.”
