The funding for the satellite offices would come from the $10 million grant from the nonpartisan, nonprofit Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). The City Commissioners have also used this grant to provide additional pay for poll workers and extra cleaning for polling places. The department has also purchased over $5 million worth of equipment to send and process mail-in ballots faster and count the votes both quickly and accurately.
