Data-driven campaigns and computerized election infrastructure have raised serious concerns regarding election privacy and security. As more political activity touches the digital realm, there exists a real potential for these issues to influence voting, compromise election activities, and alter core democratic norms. Our work is aimed at addressing key election cybersecurity issues, such as election official training, technical volunteer capacity building, social media disinformation campaigns, and robust post-election auditing.
We’ve conducted research and convened key stakeholders in election administration in order to better understand cybersecurity threats, and as a result have crafted resources that can be implemented by election officials and others in future elections.
