Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
This bill directs the Election Assistance Commission to conduct ongoing studies of how states recruit poll workers and train them on safety matters, then publish reports identifying best practices that other states could voluntarily adopt. The Commission must issue its first report by December 31, 2024, and then every two years after that. The legislation affects state and local election officials who oversee polling places and manage poll worker programs. The bill also allows states to use federal election administration funds, starting in fiscal year 2025, to implement the voluntary recruitment and safety training programs that the Commission identifies in its reports. There is no new dedicated funding amount specified in the bill itself, as it allows existing federal election funding to be redirected toward these purposes.
