Election administrators have been living through unprecedented security expectations for more than a decade, with threats ranging from ransomware and phishing to physical security and other issues, as elections have become high-value targets. At the same time, election officials face the persistent challenge of separating good information from noise.
That is why we are proud to announce the launch of the Election Security Exchange, a dedicated nonpartisan nonprofit organization built to be a trusted nonpartisan hub for information, training, and collaboration for election security nationwide.
Our goal is simple: to empower election officials with the nonpartisan tools and practical resources needed to safeguard elections. We are built for you, the people on the front lines working to ensure every election is fair, accurate, and secure.
How We Can Help
Our focus is on education, communication, and community, not emergency response. Our work is designed to make security stronger, simpler, and more connected.
- Information Sharing: We provide timely, verified information about emerging risks and vulnerabilities supported with actionable insights. Our goal is to support your decision-making with practical guidance that fits modern election operations.
- Products: From publicly available toolkits and guides to checklists and training modules, our nonpartisan materials are built for election offices and vendors. We translate complex best practices into straightforward, effective steps.
- Conference and Training Programs: Look for us at conferences nationwide. We’re here to listen, learn, and share. You can also contact us directly to request a conference booth or book a workshop, tabletop exercise or training.
- Centralized Resource Library: We’re building a central library that will bring together publicly available, nonpartisan reliable resources from across government, academia, and industry into one easy-to-access location.
- Strategic Updates: Our updates will break down key topics, threats, and success stories in plain language. We will share the latest security updates and quick action steps you can apply right away, and we will send alerts when critical information is released.
