The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (17 Jul 2025): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.
What this bill does
S. 2346, the "Preparing Election Administrators for AI Act," would direct the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, to develop voluntary guidelines for election offices on the use and risks of artificial intelligence in election administration. Within 60 days of enactment, the EAC would have to issue these guidelines to Congress, state and local election offices, and the public, covering AI's risks and benefits for election administration, cybersecurity risks, and how AI-generated content affects both the spread of accurate election information and election-related disinformation.
The bill also requires the EAC, by July 31, 2026, to study and report on how AI technologies were actually used and how they affected the 2024 federal elections, including how election offices used AI and how AI-generated information was shared. Based on that study, the EAC would review and update the earlier voluntary guidelines as needed.
The bill primarily affects the EAC and NIST, which would take on new reporting and guideline-development duties, and state and local election offices, which would receive (but not be required to follow) federal guidance on AI-related election risks. It was introduced by Senator Amy Klobuchar with bipartisan co-sponsors, read twice, and referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, where it awaits further committee action before any floor vote.
