Grants for information initiatives

In connection with each election, it is possible to apply for grant funds for the purpose of providing information about the election. The grants can go to covering expenses linked to information initiatives such as campaigns, websites, the production and distribution of information materials, and so on.

Applying for grants

Applications can be submitted for grant funds for information initiatives in October in the year before the election. The application deadline is 15 November of that same year.

Reporting and follow-up

Every recipient of a grant for information initiatives from the Norwegian Directorate of Elections must submit a report and accounts for the initiative.
