This section may be cited as the Election Worker Hiring Preference for Veterans and Americans With Disabilities Act . In hiring election workers to administer an election in a State or local jurisdiction, the State or local jurisdiction may give preference to individuals who are veterans or individuals with a disability. The Federal Election Commission shall include in any clearinghouse it maintains of procedures adopted by States with respect to the administration of Federal elections information on the procedures under which States hire individuals who are veterans or individuals with a disability as election workers, as described in paragraph (1).
In this subsection, the term individual with a disability has the meaning given such term in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ( 42 U.S.C. 12101 ). It is the sense of Congress that, in hiring election workers to administer an election in a State or local jurisdiction, the State or local jurisdiction— should give preference to an individual who is a nonresident military spouse or dependent; and should not refuse to hire such an individual as an election worker solely on the grounds that the individual does not maintain a place of residence in the State or local jurisdiction.
The Federal Election Commission shall include in any clearinghouse it maintains of procedures adopted by States with respect to the administration of Federal elections information on the procedures under which States hire nonresident military spouses or dependents as election workers, as described in paragraph (1). In this subsection, a nonresident military spouse or dependent means an individual who is an absent uniformed services voter under section 107(1)(C) of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizen Absentee Voting Act ( 52 U.S.C. 20310(1)(C) ).
