Secretary Griswold Awards Nearly $2.5 Million in HAVA Grants to 42 Counties

Denver, Colo. – Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced today that the first round of County Security and Accessibility Grants has awarded a total of $2,412,838.55 to 42 counties.

Counties can use the grants to increase the security and accessibility of voting systems and locations, boost election judges’ pay, and provide funding for Sunday voting locations ahead of the 2024 General Election.

“These grants enable Colorado to strengthen our gold-standard elections by further expanding election accessibility and security across the state,” said Secretary Griswold. “It is a privilege to support counties and election workers with these grants as we gear up for November.”
