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.

In this subsection, an individual with a disability means an individual with an impairment that substantially limits any major life activities.

In hiring election workers to administer an election in a State or local jurisdiction, the State or local jurisdiction—

(A) may give preference to an individual who is a nonresident military spouse or dependent; and

(B) may 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.

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)).

This section shall take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act.
