Election Worker Protection Temporary Amendment Act of 2024

This bill temporarily strengthens penalties for violent and dangerous crimes committed against election workers in the District of Columbia. It directly affects individuals who harm or threaten Board of Elections members, employees, or volunteers while they are performing their duties. Under the new rules, offenders could face fines and prison sentences up to 1.5 times the standard maximum for serious offenses like assault, kidnapping, and murder. The enhanced punishments apply only for a limited period of 225 days after the law takes effect.
