Bill overview
This bill, the Protect Our Local Workers Act (POL Act), aims to strengthen election security by allowing states to use funds from the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) to improve the physical security of polling places and poll workers. It specifically modifies HAVA to explicitly authorize the use of these funds for security enhancements. This would help protect election staff and facilities from potential threats. The changes would apply to funds available under HAVA, both before and after the bill’s enactment.
