Berks County to execute election-integrity grant contract for 2026–27 elections
Summary
A resolution on the agenda would authorize the chair and COO to execute an election integrity grant contract with the Commonwealth (DCED) to support administration of the 2026 general election and the 2027 municipal primary under Act 88 of 2022.
The board reviewed a resolution authorizing the chair and Kevin Barnhart, chief operations officer, to execute an election integrity grant contract between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Department of Community and Economic Development) and the Berks County Commissioners to provide grant money for administration of the 2026 general election and the 2027 municipal primary, "pursuant to Act 88 of 2022," Chairman Leinbach said.
Commissioners did not debate the substance of the grant in the public portion of the meeting. The item remained on the consent/procedural agenda; if authorized it will allow county staff to execute grant-related documents to support election administration work.
