County governments play a crucial role in maintaining the smooth operation of our communities, and the security and efficiency of election infrastructure is no exception. Election infrastructure is a rapidly evolving field, with new challenges such as cybersecurity threats, resource and personnel shortages, and shifting voter expectations.

Staying informed on these developments is important for all county leaders, not just election officials. This webinar will provide valuable insights on how robust federal funding of local election offices can bolster county operations, build public confidence, and help your community navigate these modern challenges.
