Partnership for Large Election Jurisdictions

??Happy International Women's Day! ?? To the many remarkable women in election administration ensuring free, accessible, and fair elections across the country. We are so proud to know them, uplift them, and support them everyday. Who are you celebrating today? #WomeninElections #ElectionHeroes #PLEJ

If it’s Tuesday, it must be… Atlantic City, New Jersey!! Helping out Partnership for Large Election Jurisdictions with staffing at the New Jersey Association of Election Officials conference. Having fun with Apoorva and Galilea at the PLEJ table. If you know anyone attending, tell them to stop by and pick up a cookie! So interesting finding out how other states conduct its elections. Did You Know? That election responsibilities are split between 2-3 agencies for counties in New Jersey? Fascinating!!

This makes us so happy!!!! Tnx for representing PLEJ at NJAEO!!!

Local election administrators are at the heart of democracy. During the election, they’re communicating every step of the process, safeguarding ballots, and ensuring voters are informed. And when challenges arise, they focus on transparency, addressing issues to maintain trust. Even after the votes are cast, they work tirelessly behind the scenes to deliver fast, accurate, and timely results through certification. We are incredibly grateful for their service and unwavering dedication. ?? https://loom.ly/3XZC4EQ

As local election administrators across the country head in to the office, they continue to set a new standard in election administration by strengthening systems, openly sharing processes, answering questions, and prioritizing clarity, they are building trust and reinforcing the integrity of our elections. This is leadership through radical transparency and relentless curiosity, and the elections community at large is ready! Are you? #trustedinfo2024 #elections2024 ??: https://loom.ly/Ixqj_W8

PLEJ recently spoke to USA TODAY’s Sarah Wire on the differences in election laws across states that can significantly impact the speed at which election results are reported. For instance, states like Florida are allowed to start processing ballots earlier, while Pennsylvania and Wisconsin must wait until Election Day to begin. This leads to a different timeline to report results across states, not due to inefficiency or fraud, but because of variations in their legal regulations. ?? https://bit.ly/3Cdh0Pf
