Notice of September 7, 2022
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect To Foreign Interference in or Undermining
Public Confidence in United States Elections
On September 12, 2018, by Executive Order 13848, the
President declared a national emergency pursuant to the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701 et seq.) to deal with the unusual and
extraordinary threat to the national security and
foreign policy of the United States constituted by the
threat of foreign interference in or undermining public
confidence in United States elections.
Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power
altering the outcomes or vote tabulation in any United
States election, foreign powers have historically
sought to exploit America's free and open political
system. In recent years, the proliferation of digital
devices and internet-based communications has created
significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and
intensity of the threat of foreign interference. The
ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial
part, outside the United States to interfere in or
undermine public confidence in United States elections,
including through the unauthorized accessing of
election and campaign infrastructure or the covert
distribution of propaganda and disinformation,
continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat
to the national security and foreign policy of the
United States. For this reason, the national emergency
declared on September 12, 2018, must continue in effect
beyond September 12, 2022. Therefore, in accordance
with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50
U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the
national emergency declared in Executive Order 13848
with respect to the threat of foreign interference in
or undermining public confidence in United States
elections.
