The order directs Federal agencies to enforce laws that protect the integrity of American elections. This includes ensuring that votes are cast and received by the legally established election date, prohibiting non-citizens from registering to vote or voting in Federal elections, and maintaining accurate and current Statewide lists of legally registered voters. The order also calls for the enforcement of laws that prevent foreign nationals from participating in Federal, State, or local elections by making contributions or expenditures.

The memo directs the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to investigate allegations of unlawful use of online fundraising platforms for making "straw" or "dummy" contributions or foreign contributions to political candidates and committees. The Attorney General is also directed to report back on the investigation's results within 180 days. The order is in response to concerns about potential evasion of federal source and amount limitations on political contributions and potential misuse of these platforms by foreign nationals. [Editor: The Memo specifically identifies ActBlue, the Democratic-party leaning online fundraiser.]
