AI Summary
This bill, the Voluntarily Offered Tools for Election Reforms by States Act (VOT-ERS Act), amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to direct the Standards Board of the Election Assistance Commission to release voluntary considerations for states regarding the administration of federal elections. These considerations cover various aspects of election administration, such as mail-in ballots, signature verification, voter list maintenance, election observation, reporting of results, poll worker recruitment, voting machine testing, post-election audits, and chain of custody procedures. The bill allows states to use federal election funds to implement these voluntary considerations, but clarifies that compliance is not required and does not affect compliance with the Voting Rights Act.
