Dossier Legislative introduced 18-jun-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Protect Our Polls Act

Key claim: The Protect Our Polls Act (S4845) was introduced in the 119th Congress and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, suggesting federal legislative interest in protecting poll workers.

Abstract

(S4845 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-18): Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Why this matters

Poll worker safety has emerged as a concern in recent election cycles, with reports of harassment and threats affecting recruitment and retention of election officials. Federal protections could shape the environment in which elections are administered and, indirectly, voter access. At this stage the bill is only a referral, so any practical effect on affected groups remains speculative.
