The CARES Act requires states to report 20 days after every primary and the general election. The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) must also roll up the reports and submit them to Congress after the general election. To meet this requirements we must establish a streamlined process that reduces the burden on states and makes clear what the expected content for this reporting will be. EAC will use the data collected to meet the reporting requirements set out in the CARES Act. Data from these progress report forms will also be used for grant monitoring, feedback to grantees and the public, long-term planning, and reporting to Congress. EAC has developed this form to collect quantitative data on program activities such as staffing, voting processes, security and training, communication and other activities unique to the CARES funding. These reports also collect qualitative data on the status of grantee progress, problems encountered and the grantees' assessments how they used the funds to address the pandemic and the challenges faced in responding to it.
2020 primary elections are currently taking place, states are required to report how they used their grant funds within 20 days of their primaries taken place.
