Veterans’ desire to serve doesn’t end with military service, advocates contend

“Jennifer Morrell, an Air Force veteran, talked about her motivation launching The Elections Group, a nonpartisan organization that works with cities and states to assure best practices in election administration.

‘I had a desire to give back to my community and continue to serve,’ said Morrell, who in 2020 started The Elections Group.

The nonprofit now has 20 employees who train and support election administrators at the local and state level on the mechanics of running polling places. The organization also does outreach to improve voter education.”
