The order instructed hundreds of federal agencies to interfere in the electoral process by using U.S. taxpayer money to boost voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities.
Biden's unprecedented use of taxpayer dollars to run highly partisan voter registration and get-out-the-vote operations to the benefit of Democrats is unlikely to instill confidence in American voters, whose trust in the electoral process was shaken following the chaotic and irregular 2020 election.
In March 2022, the Office of Personnel Management announced it will allow federal employees to take up to four hours of "Administrative leave" to vote in any U.S. election.
The guidance is a departure from previous OPM policy, which granted leave to federal workers "On election day only" and permitted them "To access paid time off in limited circumstances based on [their] work schedule and the polling hours in their community." When announcing the change in policy, OPM said it "Recognizes that voting has evolved beyond a single election day" and claimed the new guidance would limit supposed "Barriers to voting."
As The Federalist's M.D. Kittle reported, the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service "Encourages all state agencies administering the child nutrition programs to provide local program operators with promotional materials, including voter registration and non-partisan, non-campaign election information, to disseminate among voting-age program participants and their families."
One of the "Ideas" recommended by the agency is for "[s]chool food authorities administering the National School Lunch Program in high schools, and adult day care centers and emergency shelters participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program to promote voter registration and election information among voting-age participants and use congregate feeding areas, such as cafeterias, or food distribution sites, as sites for the dissemination of information.
The guidelines specifically instructed USCIS to provide newly ordained citizens "Access to voter registration services" at these ceremonies and additional information "Regarding points-of-contact for voting and voter registration." Agency employees were also tasked with requesting local or state election officials "Attend ceremonies to distribute, collect, and review voter registration applications, and to officially register new citizens to vote." In the absence of said officials, USCIS must "Coordinate" with "Nongovernmental organizations" - that are presumably "Approved" by the administration - to provide these same services.
