The Polling Place Standards Act directs state and local election officials to ensure a minimum number of polling places for federal elections, requiring at least one polling place or vote center for every 2,000 registered voters in each state. The law also requires that these polling places be geographically diverse and not concentrated in specific areas to prevent voter accessibility problems. States that already allow voters to cast ballots by mail or ballot drop box are exempt from these requirements. The legislation establishes staffing standards for polling places to ensure ballots are processed timely, equipment is secure, and wait times do not exceed 30 minutes, with states to consider factors like the number of registered voters, available machines, and accessibility needs when determining adequate staffing levels. The bill authorizes a grant program through the Election Assistance Commission to help states implement these new polling place standards, though no specific funding amount is specified.
