H.R. 4407 · 118th Congress
Voluntarily Offered Tools for Election Reforms by States Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Voluntarily Offered Tools for Election Reforms by States Act or the VOTERS Act
This bill directs the Election Assistance Commission's Standards Board to release voluntary considerations from states with respect to the administration of federal elections. The board must examine and consolidate information provided by states and release considerations with respect to specified categories (e.g., processes for the administration of ballots delivered by mail, methods used to recruit poll workers, and procedures used to carry out postelection audits).
The bill allows states to use certain grant funds to implement any of the released voluntary considerations.
