About this opportunity
The US Election Assistance Commission is seeking applications from institutions of higher education, non-profits, and state or local election offices for the Help America Vote College Program Poll Worker Grant Program. Eligible applicants must propose engaging college students as nonpartisan poll workers and partner with local election officials, with priority given to projects recruiting underrepresented groups. Applications will be evaluated based on program design, organizational capacity, and budget, and are due by December 18, 2023. Awards will fund activities such as recruitment, training, travel for Election Day work, and performance tracking.
Successful applicants may receive awards between $45,000 to $100,000 to support partnerships with local election offices and recruit and train college students to serve as poll workers through September 2025. Funding can cover personnel, travel, supplies, and indirect costs to increase poll worker numbers and support the 2024 general election. Applicants must provide at least 10% matching funds and will report on performance metrics including the number of college students engaged.
