Grant award amounts were based exclusively upon the 2022 citizen voting age population of the local election office jurisdiction, as measured by the u.s. Census bureau. Grant funds were used to cover expenditures for planning and operationalizing secure, efficient, and accessible election administration. Local election officials decided how to allocate grant funds among the particular nonpartisan election administration needs in their jurisdiction.
