OFAC ELECTION-EO13848 sanctions program

ELECTION-EO13848 is one of the program codes OFAC attaches to entries on the Specially Designated Nationals list. As of 2026-07-24 it appears on 111 SDN entries. Designations under this program are made under Executive Order 13848 (Election), Executive Order 13694 (Cyber) and Executive Order 13661 (Ukraine).

What the ELECTION-EO13848 code means on an SDN entry

OFAC does not maintain one list per sanctions program. It maintains one SDN list, and tags each entry with the program or programs it was designated under. An entry can carry several: of the 111 entries tagged ELECTION-EO13848, 70 also carry at least one other program code.

The legal authorities OFAC records against these designations are:

• Executive Order 13848 (Election)
• Executive Order 13694 (Cyber)
• Executive Order 13661 (Ukraine)
• Executive Order 13757 (Cyber)
• Executive Order 13382 (Non-proliferation)
• Executive Order 14024 (Russia)
• Executive Order 13224 (Terrorism)
• TRA
• Executive Order 13660 (Ukraine)
• CAATSA - Section 224

That matters for screening: if you filter an SDN extract to a single program code you will silently drop entries that were designated under a different code but are blocked all the same. Screen the whole list, then use the program code to explain a hit — not to decide which entries to load.

The free tier allows 5 checks per day with no signup, which is enough to wire the call up and see the response shape. Production limits and the audit log are on the paid tiers; the API reference covers batch screening and the degraded flag you should alert on.
