3078 SPECIAL CATEGORIES
GRANTS AND AIDS - FEDERAL ELECTION ACTIVITIES (HELP AMERICA VOTE ACT)
FROM FEDERAL GRANTS TRUST FUND ... 2,000,000
Funds in Specific Appropriation 3078 shall be distributed to county supervisors of elections to
be used for election administration activities such as voter education; pollworker training;
standardizing elections results reporting; or other federal election administrative activities as
approved by the Department of State.
County supervisors of elections will receive funds only after providing the Department of State
a detailed description of the programs that will be implemented. Funds distributed to county
supervisors of elections require a certification from the county that matching funds will be
provided in an amount equal to fifteen percent of the amount to be received from the state.
Also, before a county supervisor of elections receives funds for any software or hardware
technology, including, but not limited to any emerging technology that enhances or facilitates
the delivery of absentee ballots, the casting and counting of valid votes, voting system audits or
recount processes, and the certification of accurate and complete official election results, the
software or technology must first be certified or approved, whichever is applicable by the
Department of State. Additionally, before the Supervisor can receive funds for emerging or
enhancing technology, the county supervisor of elections and the chairperson of the county
governing body must certify that the county has purchased and made available sufficient
equipment for casting and counting ballots to meet the needs of the county electors including
reducing the wait time at the polls during the early voting period and on election day for the
next regularly scheduled general election.
To be eligible, a county must segregate federal funds and required county matching dollars in a
separate account established to hold only such funds. Funds in this account must be used only
for the activities for which the funds were received. Funds shall remain in the account to be
used for the same purposes for subsequent years or until such funds are expended. Supervisors
of elections shall report to the Department of State any unspent funds remaining on June 30 of
each fiscal year.
