The Election Assistance Commission (hereafter in this part referred to as the Commission ) shall carry out a pilot program under which the Commission shall provide funds during the 1-year period beginning after the date of the enactment of this part to eligible local educational agencies for initiatives to provide information on registering to vote in elections for public office to secondary school students in the 12th grade. A local educational agency is eligible to receive funds under the pilot program under this part if the agency submits to the Commission, at such time and in such form as the Commission may require, an application containing— a description of the initiatives the agency intends to carry out with the funds; a description of how the agency will prioritize access to such initiatives for schools that serve— the highest numbers or percentages of students counted under section 1124(c) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 6333(c) ); and the highest percentages of students who are eligible for a free or reduced price lunch under the Richard B.
Russell National School Lunch Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.) (which, in the case of a high school, may be calculated using comparable data from the schools that feed into the high school), as compared to other public schools in the jurisdiction of the agency; an estimate of the costs associated with such initiatives; and such other information and assurances as the Commission may require. In selecting among eligible local educational agencies for receiving funds under the pilot program under this part, the Commission shall give priority to local educational agencies that receive funds under part A of title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 6311 et seq.).

In this part, the terms local educational agency and secondary school have the meanings given such terms in section 8101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 7801 ).
