- State and local governments: Could receive grants covering up to 50% of transition costs, including voting equipment, tabulation software, ballot design, and educational materials.
- Election officials and the Election Assistance Commission: The Commission would provide technical assistance and run the grant program under a new Subtitle B in the Help America Vote Act, and the law defines how ranked-choice systems work in single- and multi-winner contests.
- Voters and local election operations: Grants can pay for voter outreach, training, and ballot design to support ranking candidates and multi-round tabulation that yields a majority or proportional result.
*This bill would authorize $40.0 million for fiscal year 2027 to carry out the program, increasing federal spending.*
