## Summary

**Helps shorten voting lines by funding electronic pollbooks and requiring public polling-place wait-time reporting.** This bill would create grants for eligible jurisdictions to buy or maintain e-pollbooks and build systems that collect and publish wait times for federal elections. - Voters: Polling places must publish wait times online for each location, with frequent updates so voters can check lines before or during voting. - Local election offices: Jurisdictions could receive federal grants to procure and maintain e-pollbooks and must report procurement and maintenance to the Election Assistance Commission and meet voluntary certification standards. - Voters with limited English and voters with disabilities: Grants must support training for election officials so e-pollbook use and wait-time reporting address the needs of these voters. *Would authorize $120.0 million in federal funding to carry out the program, increasing federal outlays.*
