The House overwhelmingly passed a bill on Sept. 25 requiring states to permit congressional observers to oversee elections for federal office.

The Confirmation Of Congressional Observer Access Act of 2024, or COCOA Act, passed 413–1. It now goes to President Joe Biden for his signature. The Senate passed the bill on Sept. 24 by unanimous consent, where there is no roll call, as no senators had objections to the measure.
