This resource gives election officials and non-technical staff guidance on responsibly using AI-assisted software generation (“vibecoding”). The guide demystifies AI chat assistants for building light automations (e.g., poll-worker schedulers, checklist dashboards, data formatters) while establishing some security guardrails. Its primary objective is to enable staff to increase productivity without creating new cybersecurity, data privacy, or operational risks. It defines four clear criteria for “zero-risk” tools (no real/PII data, no external connectivity to databases/systems, non-authoritative output, and high disposability) and outlines strict protocols for oversight, verification, and risk management.
