WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden will sign a sweeping election reform bill after it is refined and passed by Congress, he said on Thursday, a day after it passed the U.S. House of Representatives.

“I look forward to signing it into law … so that together we can strengthen and restore American democracy for the next election and all those to come,” he said in a statement released by the White House.

The bill must still clear a divided U.S. Senate.
