AI Summary
This bill, the Protect American Voters Act, aims to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to direct the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to adopt voluntary guidelines for election officials on the use of "nonvoting election technology" in federal elections. Nonvoting election technology refers to systems used in election administration that are not directly involved in casting, counting, or tabulating ballots or votes, such as electronic pollbooks, result reporting systems, and online voter registration. The bill requires the EAC to review and potentially revise these guidelines every 4 years and establishes a role for the Standards Board to provide recommendations on the guidelines. It also allows states to use certain federal election security grant funds to obtain or upgrade nonvoting election technology to comply with the new voluntary guidelines.
