New York, 14th October: Facebook Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan donated $100 million to support election officials and fund infrastructure for the US election in November.

“We’ve gotten a far greater response than we expected from election officials needing funding for voting infrastructure, so today we’re committing an additional $100 million to the Center for Tech and Civic Life to make sure that every jurisdiction that needs funding to help people vote safely can get it,” Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post.

“So far, more than 2,100 local election jurisdictions have submitted applications to CTCL for support,” he wrote.

The couple previously donated $300 million to the US election process. The money was used to get safety equipment for poll workers and voting equipment.

Mark Zuckerberg also said that many lawsuits have been filed in order to block the use of his funds claiming that they have a partisan agenda. However, he claimed that all such accusations are false.

Zuckerberg and Chan’s election infrastructure donations come as Facebook faces both regulatory scrutiny from Washington and pressure from lawmakers to protect against misinformation and other election-related abuses on its platform.
