Election Resource Roundup: Election Administration – Due Diligence (Week 22)

In preparation for the 2024 Presidential Election, The Elections Group teamed up with experts in the industry to highlight resources for election administrators. This weekly series showcased resources from The Elections Group, paired with resources from other organizations in the elections space. Every four weeks, we focused on a different topic, and we took a deeper dive into the resources available each week. Whether you’re a seasoned elections administrator looking for resources in the field, or if you’re new to the role, these maximum 30-minute sessions are a quick introduction to resources curated for you. 

This Resource Roundup featured The Election Group’s guide to Exploring Audits Series and The EAC’s Quick Start Guide - Post Election Audits.

• The Elections Group’s Exploring Election Audits Series helps election officials identify principles, standards and audit best practices that apply to the entire election administration process – not just voting machines and tabulation equipment. These recommendations are grounded in the belief that there are opportunities to increase accuracy and public trust by auditing everything from the voter registration process to the way that ballots are accounted for and reconciled.
• The EAC's Post Election Audits Guide provides a framework for election officials to ensure accuracy and transparency in verifying election results. It suggests using well-defined procedures, strict security, and clear communication with the public. This approach builds public trust and verifies the reliability of election results.
