Climate Resilient Elections Act

The Climate Resilient Elections Act requires states to develop and update election continuity plans for climate-related disasters, with initial plans due by September 2028. It authorizes $20 million annually (2026-2030) for grants to help states improve election resilience through better equipment, training for election officials, and voter information systems. The bill also mandates a federal report analyzing how natural disasters impact voter registration and how federal assistance could better support election administration after disasters. These provisions directly affect states and election administrators, aiming to prevent election disruptions and voter disenfranchisement during increasingly frequent climate emergencies.
