Hiring Preference for Veterans and Americans With Disabilities Act

This bill allows state and local election offices to give hiring preference to veterans and people with disabilities when filling election worker positions. It also permits preference for spouses or dependents of military members who are absent voters (under federal law) and prohibits denying them jobs solely due to not residing in the jurisdiction. The bill defines "people with disabilities" as those with impairments substantially limiting major life activities. These provisions directly affect how election workers are hired at the state and local government level.
