POLE Act

Bill 119 hr 1467, also known as the "Help America Vote Act Amendment," aims to make changes to the Help America Vote Act of 2002. The main provision of this bill is to prohibit the use of Federal funds for the administration of elections for Federal, State, or local office in States that do not have laws allowing units of local government to hold elections for local office in odd-numbered years.

This bill is intended to encourage States to adopt laws that permit local governments to hold elections in odd-numbered years. The rationale behind this is to increase voter turnout and engagement in local elections, which are often overlooked compared to Federal and State elections.

In addition to the main provision, the bill also includes other purposes related to election administration. The goal of this bill is to ensure that Federal funds are being used effectively and efficiently to support fair and accessible elections at all levels of government. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1467 seeks to promote democracy and civic participation by incentivizing States to make changes to their election laws that will benefit local communities and voters.
