Summary

The county accepted a recurring state Election Integrity Grant of $478,784 to support capital investments related to elections ahead of the fall election cycle.

Lebanon County Commissioners voted Aug. 7 to accept an Election Integrity Grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania totaling $478,784.03, a recurring state program for capital investments related to elections.

Sean Drasher, director of elections and voter registration, told the board the grant is a guaranteed state award intended for capital improvements. Drasher said the county has received the award in prior years and this marks the third cycle; the grant award has increased slightly since previous rounds.

Commissioners approved the grant acceptance by voice vote. Drasher noted the county is roughly 89 days from the next election at the time of the meeting and that the funds will be used for election-related capital needs, consistent with state grant rules.
