Election Worker Recruitment and Safety Act

The Election Worker Recruitment and Safety Act requires the Election Assistance Commission to regularly study state programs for recruiting and training poll workers, with a focus on safety. The Commission must publish reports by December 2024 and every two years after, identifying voluntary best practices states can adopt. States can then use federal election funding to implement these recommended practices for recruiting and training poll workers. The bill does not mandate specific actions but creates a framework for states to access and apply proven safety and recruitment strategies. This aims to improve the safety and efficiency of election worker programs nationwide.
