A combined $6.3 million in grant money will fund an initiative called the “Wisconsin Safe Voting Plan.”
The money from the Chicago-based nonpartisan Center for Tech and Civic Life will be used to make polling places safer on Election Day during the coronavirus pandemic.
The money will be shared by officials in Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Racine and Kenosha.
City leaders plan to use the grant money to secure voting sites, set up drive-thru and drop-box locations, recruit and train poll workers, and make sure they have personal protective equipment.
