Strengthening Trust and Professionalism in Election Administration: Ethics, Communication and Workforce Development

Join The Elections Group and the Bipartisan Policy Center for a conversation highlighting three important areas of emerging research that can strengthen trust, communication, and professional practice in election administration.

We explore findings from a national needs assessment examining what election officials are looking for in ethics training and support. We also discuss a new pilot training model designed to help local officials respond to misinformation, manage tense interactions, and foster constructive dialogue in their communities.

Together, these insights point toward practical steps election offices can take to build stronger, more resilient, and more trusted operations.
