Veterans & Disability Hiring Preferences for Election Workers (HR5734)

Current understanding

HR5734 would authorize states and localities to grant hiring preferences to veterans, individuals with disabilities, and nonresident military spouses and dependents when staffing election workers, and would prohibit residency-based refusals to hire military family members. The measure extends existing federal veterans/disability preference frameworks into the election-worker context without creating new eligibility mechanisms. Status: introduced.
