This page contains everything that municipal and county clerks need to apply for the 2019 Election Security Subgrant Program established by the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Please see the documents attached below.
The program's goal is to provide financial resources to make sure that every clerk has an up-to-date, secure computer, has access to professional IT support, and has received election security training.
Wisconsin’s election systems are secure thanks to the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s strong partnerships with federal and state agencies and local election officials. This page briefly summarizes the WEC’s election security efforts and provides links to more information.
