In a moment when recruitment can be challenging due to increased threats and scrutiny, having a retention strategy is more important than ever.

Election Day is less than one week away, and election officials are working diligently to uphold the security and accuracy of our elections. This includes preparing to respond to any crises that may arise—whether they be surges in misinformation, technical issues, or legal challenges. While we hope you won’t have to use it, the publicly available Crisis Communications Toolkit from the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence and The Elections Group provides tools that election administrators can use to tackle crises promptly and transparently, and build public trust. https://lnkd.in/eVFZfmzG

With Election Day right around the corner, we’ve put together a publicly available list of contact information of national organizations that can support election officials through emergencies. ?? We hope having these contacts on hand gives you peace of mind in case you end up needing them.

This week, new local election officials in select states will receive a welcome box from us with nonpartisan resources and a signed postcard from our co-founder, Tiana Epps-Johnson! Starting a new role in an election year is heroic and deserves support???.

To reduce the impact of misinformation, preparation is key. Facing growing information threats, election officials can take effective steps to boost voter confidence and minimize confusion. With the help of this checklist, your election department will be able to prepare for – and respond to – false information with confidence.
