Commissioners ratify $136,410.24 election‑integrity grant to cover mailings and poll worker costs
Summary
Paula briefed the board on a formula‑based election integrity grant of $136,410.24 tied to registered‑voter counts; commissioners ratified the application and acceptance before the August 15 deadline.
The Mifflin County commissioners ratified an election integrity grant application that will provide $136,410.24 to the county to offset costs such as mailings and poll worker salaries.
Paula (county elections staff) explained the award is calculated by a formula tied to the number of registered voters; last year the county received a larger amount and this year the allocation is smaller because the registered‑voter count at the primary was lower. "We're we're getting $136,410.24," Paula said, and she told commissioners the acceptance paperwork is due by Aug. 15.
The board moved and carried the ratification during the meeting. Staff said the funds are used to offset mailing and related election administration expenses.
