Civic Corps Act of 2023

The Civic Corps Act of 2023 establishes a 5-year pilot program under the National and Community Service Act to support local election and civic engagement efforts. It directly affects state, local, and tribal election offices, schools, and community organizations by authorizing them to carry out activities like assisting election officials, improving voter and civics education, and providing civic learning opportunities for K-12 students. The program tracks specific performance indicators, such as election efficiency, student engagement in civic education, and staff retention in election offices, while prohibiting partisan political activities, voter registration drives, or influencing legislation. The pilot is limited to one recipient per region and will terminate after five years.
