Election Security Partnership Act

The Election Security Partnership Act proposes to allocate an additional $20 million in election security funding through the Election Assistance Commission. This funding is intended to improve election administration, enhance election technology, and bolster election security measures for Federal office elections. To qualify for these supplemental grants, states must have already received funding under the 2026 election security grant program. Additionally, eligible states must enter into a written agreement with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide their complete, official voter registration lists quarterly after September 30, 2026. DHS will then utilize the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system to compare these voter lists, specifically for the purpose of identifying individuals who are not citizens of the United States. The additional payment to an eligible state will not exceed 10 percent of the amount it received from the initial 2026 election security grant program.
