Yes.
In any election in which a federal candidate is on the ballot, federal law prohibits any
individual or entity, including 501(c)(3) nonprofits, social welfare organizations, and unions,
from knowingly and willfully paying, offering to pay, or accepting payment either for
registering to vote or voting
> pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both

I'm not paying you to do X, but if you do X and then Y, I'll pay you.
Others already pointed out that both are a crime.
