Sign the petition to Congress: Provide election funding before the end of the year.

Friend, to maintain the safety and security of our elections, we need funding to replace outdated election systems and provide resources and staff to our election offices. If jurisdictions fail to keep up with the [ongoing costs of elections](, it can result in using aging equipment, inadequate training, and accessibility issues. Lack of funding threatens the integrity of our election infrastructure. [Sign the petition to Congress: Provide election funding before the end of the year.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Federal funding for elections over the past two decades has been woefully [insufficient](. We haven't passed adequate election funding legislation since 2002 in response to the election chaos displayed in 2000. Although there have been occasional grants since then, they don't come close to covering the increasing costs required to run a smooth and successful election today. If we hope to keep the integrity of elections intact, we need better and more reliable funding. The 2024 election is right around the corner, and Republicans are working overtime to make voting as difficult as possible. Now is the time to ensure our elections are properly funded so election deniers don't get the chance to upset our election system further. [Democrats must provide election funding now before the House changes hands in January.
