Election Resource Roundup: Election Administration – Due Diligence (Week 21)
In preparation for the 2024 Presidential Election, The Elections Group is teaming up with experts in the industry to highlight resources for election administrators. This weekly series will showcase resources from The Elections Group, paired with resources from other organizations in the elections space. Every four weeks, we will focus on a different topic, and we’ll take a deeper dive into the resources available each week. Whether you’re a seasoned elections administrator looking for resources in the field, or if you’re new to the role, these maximum 30-minute sessions will be a quick introduction to resources curated for you.
The October 28 Resource Roundup featured The Election Group’s guide, Election Security in a Time of Disturbance and The Committee for Safe and Secure Election’s 5 Steps to Safer Elections.
The Election Group’s guide, Logic and Accuracy Testing (L&A), offers a detailed description of every important phase of L&A testing, putting procedures in context and explaining why they’re necessary. While this guide does not serve as a substitute for vendor-supplied instructions and staff checklists, it is a powerful tool to help election officials conduct the testing and communicate the process to voters.
The EAC’s Logic and Accuracy Testing Guide provides essential steps to ensure voting equipment operates correctly before an election. Key areas include preparing test decks for each equipment type, documenting each step, and publicly demonstrating the process. This guide helps ensure confidence in election readiness and compliance with regulatory requirements.
