FEMA's FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program makes more than $1 billion available for terrorism prevention and preparedness — but for the first time ties eligibility to election-security measures: hand-marked paper ballots, 5% post-election audits, and citizenship verification through the SAVE system within 120 days. Local-government groups are calling it federal overreach that could divert 20% of state grants from bomb squads and active-shooter readiness. Applications are due July 24, 2026. This is the full breakdown of the conditions, the money at stake, the controversy, and how state and local applicants should navigate it.

But the money comes fenced: 30% to National Priority Areas, 35% to law-enforcement terrorism prevention, plus new 10% border and 3% election minimums.
