On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed
into law. The Act included $400 million in new Help America Vote Act (HAVA) emergency funds,
made available to states to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus for the 2020 federal

elections from the effects of the novel coronavirus.

Pennsylvania's share of this federal funding is $14,223,603. An additional 20% match or $2,844,721

increased election expenses arising due to COVID-19, including but not limited to voter notifications
and education, increased costs related to mail-in and absentee voting, supplies to mitigate the
spread of COVID-19, and increased equipment, staffing, training, or other needs permissible under
the CARES Act.
