Florida-based Smartmatic served subpoenas on Bannon, who served as a White House strategist under Trump, and Flynn, who briefly served as national security adviser, on Wednesday, according to documents filed in Delaware state court.
Bannon and Flynn representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment, nor did Smartmatic and Newsmax.
Bannon, an influential figure on the American right, worked on Trump's 2016 campaign and later in the White House.
