Tell Congress: Protect Local Election Officials Now

Call to Action Text Field

Our new poll of local election officials makes one thing clear: they are facing unprecedented threats, and the federal government is not doing enough to keep them safe.

At a time when threats against election officials have increased, 77 percent of the election officials we surveyed reported that the federal government is either doing nothing to support them, or not enough. The people who keep our elections safe deserve to feel safe themselves.

Congress must act to defend election workers from the increasing wave of partisan attacks. Send a message telling your senators and representatives to enact critical protections for election workers — simply enter your information below. Thank you for standing up for election workers.

Dear Congressional leader,

Message

As your constituent, I’m asking you to take action to protect local election workers against attacks.

Recent reports show that election workers are being harassed and threatened as they carry out their basic duties. Some have even received death threats that name their young children.

This is deeply concerning — these attacks could very well put the future of fairly administered elections at risk. I’m asking you to take action to defend our election workers:

- Prohibit the intimidation of election workers who are carrying out their duties
- Prohibit the publishing of election workers’ personally identifying information with the intent to threaten or intimidate them
- Establish address confidentiality programs that can keep election workers’ personal information secure
- Provide physical and online safety training to election officials.

The people that keep our elections safe deserve to feel safe themselves.

Thank you,
[First Name] [Last Name]
