Proposed Amendment 28 of the United States Constitution.

Preamble: Whereas, the United States of America operates as a Republic and is governed by representatives who are elected by the people, it is therefore vital that all levels Government insure the integrity of all elections by these means:
1. ensuring that only eligible citizen voters participate;
2. ensuring that all eligible citizen voters have exactly one opportunity to participate in each election; and
3. ensuring the results reflect the intentions of the electorate to the highest accuracy possible.

Section 1: The ability to vote in any state or Federal elections is a privilege, available to those able to offer proof of United States citizenship, age, and the competency to declare their intentions on their own behalf.

Section 2: Every jurisdiction holding an election or any other function with the purpose of having constituencies vote for governing representatives shall ensure the following:
i. That all voters conform to the voting laws within their jurisdiction.
ii. That all voters present a form of government-issued identification that positively establishes their identity, age, and citizenship status in order to vote or to obtain ballots to vote in absentia.
iii. That no voter completes more than one ballot in any single election.
iv. That no person completes a ballot on behalf of another person, excepting those physically unable to do so. Such persons may designate a single representative to act on their behalf by means of legal proxy.
v. That all votes cast accurately reflect the selections of each eligible voter.
vi. That individual voter records never become public.
vii. That all voting records are maintained until at least one calendar year after all election results are legally satisfied.

Section 3: All governing jurisdictions failing to enforce the provisions given in Section 2 may be subject to sanctions including but not limited to fines, imprisonment, or the nullification of election results.

Any individual person found violating any of the provisions of Section 2 will be guilty of a felony, and subject to the appropriate penalties.

Relief may be sought by anyone harmed by failure to enforce these provisions, including individual voters and candidates of the jurisdiction.

Legal claims against any election for violation of these provisions must be filed promptly, within 30 days of any election, notwithstanding any competing ordinances. Such claims must originate in the court of appropriate jurisdiction.

Section 4: The Congress and local jurisdictions shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
