Election Assistance Commission federal obligations in FY2024

How agency 525 meets fiscal year 2024

This page is a join: Election Assistance Commission (agency 525) and FY2024. $991,004,289.67 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide FY2024 total on FY2024 federal spending, not every agency’s book on All agencies, and not cash already paid. FY2024 is a closed fiscal year in the yearlyTrend series used here; later ingests can still restate the cell. Correlation is not causation: a large FY2024 cell does not prove the agency caused a policy outcome, or the reverse.

FY2024 is the yearlyTrend year key for this agency. The cell is that year’s obligation sum, not a calendar-year total and not a count of elections held. Election Assistance Commission is the agency parent without a year filter. FY2024 federal spending is the fiscal-year parent without this agency filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Election Assistance Commission as the awarding side

Agency code 525 is the Election Assistance Commission on USAspending.gov. The tag marks the awarding agency on obligation rows. It does not name grantees, voting-system vendors, or counties, and this packet does not list those parties. Confusing this join with FEC campaign filings or a turnout scoreboard would be a different table. Packet facts on the agency side are the name Election Assistance Commission, code 525, all-year obligations $1,015,740,092.88, and 79 awards. Any other recipient, program mix, or contractor list would be invented.

Readers sometimes treat an awarding-agency total as a budget Congress passed for a named activity. $991,004,289.67 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation rollup tagged to Election Assistance Commission in FY2024. Help America Vote Act narratives, state match rates, and equipment lists are outside the facts. A later ingest can restate the FY2024 cell without changing the join of agency 525 and year 2024. Do not add a contractor roster the extract omitted.

FY2024 as a time filter, not a ballot result

Fiscal year 2024 is the yearlyTrend year key. It is not a calendar year and not a count of events the agency oversees. Awards that carry a different year sit outside this cell even if the awarding agency is still 525. FY2024 obligations of $991,004,289.67 are about 97.6% of the agency’s $1,015,740,092.88 all-year obligation total in this extract. Do not treat the all-year $1,015,740,092.88 as if it were the FY2024 headline.

FY2024 federal spending shows how Election Assistance Commission sits beside other awarding agencies in the same fiscal year. This packet has no outlay total, no recipient roster, and no NAICS split. All agencies is the directory of awarding agencies.

Share of the agency’s all-year obligation book

The extract lists 79 awards on the Election Assistance Commission table. That is an agency-level award-record count, not a FY2024-only census published on this packet. Dividing $991,004,289.67 by 79 would mix a year cell with an all-year row count, so this page does not treat that quotient as a typical FY2024 invoice. Unique vendors are unpublished.

What the EAC × FY2024 pair cannot prove

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $991,004,289.67 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared in FY2024 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that FY2024 specialized in the agency’s mission because of federal demand. Keep $991,004,289.67 labeled as Election Assistance Commission obligations in FY2024. It is not a vote tally, a ranking of secretaries of state, or a precinct map.
