Ban on Non-Profit Funding for Election Administration

This new law changes election funding rules by prohibiting tax-exempt organizations (like charities and foundations) from giving money to state or local governments for running elections. The goal is to ensure that election administration relies solely on public funds, aiming to increase confidence in the impartiality of the voting process. Citizens should be aware that local election offices will now depend exclusively on government budgets, except for donated polling place space.
Key points
Charities and foundations (501(c)(3) organizations) are banned from providing direct or indirect funding for election administration activities.
The change applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
The only exception allows these organizations to donate space to be used as polling places.
