This bill directs the Election Assistance Commission to create voluntary guidelines helping state and local election officials understand and manage artificial intelligence technologies in elections. Within 60 days of the bill's enactment, the Commission—working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology—must develop and publish a report addressing AI's risks and benefits for election administration, including cybersecurity threats, the spread of election misinformation, and how AI-generated information affects public trust in elections. Additionally, the bill requires the Commission to study how AI was actually used during the 2024 federal elections and submit findings to Congress by July 31, 2026, then use those results to update the guidelines as needed. The bill affects election administrators at state and local levels and the general public, who will have access to the guidelines and research. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the legislation.
