In plain English
This bill establishes a State Election Assistance and Innovation Trust Fund and creates an Office of Democracy Advancement and Innovation to distribute grants to states through fiscal year 2033 for election administration improvements, poll worker recruitment and training, and expanding voting access. States receiving funds must submit plans describing how they will use the money and establish uniform complaint procedures for election-related disputes. The bill prohibits states from using funds for activities that would reduce eligible voters' ability to participate in elections.
