The grant is for “Cultivating Resilience in Election Administration by Impacting the Policy Landscape,” and will assess the impact of election policies passed since 2016 on local election officials and examine the roles of local election officials and their state professional associations in policymaking.
Advised by the Election Workforce Advisory Council, Anthony’s is one of nine projects that will investigate a variety of challenges facing the elections workforce including turnover, emerging technologies, funding, public trust, ethics, state policy, diversity and threats against election workers. The findings will build an important empirical foundation for long-term, evidence-based solutions to election workforce challenges and final research reports will be published in late 2024 and early 2025.
The Election Workforce Advisory Council is a joint project of the Bipartisan Policy Center and The Elections Group. The council brings together election administrators, academics, experts, and industry representatives to develop and implement best practices to improve recruitment, retention and training in election administration.
The grant program is supported by the Election Trust Initiative, a nonpartisan grant-making organization working to strengthen the field of election administration, guided by the principle that America’s election systems must be secure, transparent, accurate and convenient.
