Plain-English Summary

The federal government would provide money to states and local election offices over the next three years to improve voting security systems, such as upgrading equipment and training poll workers. These grants would help election officials protect against fraud and ensure voting machines work properly during elections. States and counties would apply for the funding to strengthen their election infrastructure.
