Committee for Safe and Secure Elections

A cross-partisan group of election officials & law enforcement aiming to protect election workers from violence, threats & intimidation🇺🇸🗳️

🚨 New Statement 🚨

The #LosAngeles County ballot drop box fire is a reminder that election security planning is not theoretical. It is an ongoing responsibility shared by election officials and #lawenforcement. As jurisdictions prepare for 2026, now is the time to review plans, strengthen partnerships, and ensure that procedures are in place to respond quickly when incidents occur.

This Memorial Day, we’re taking the time to remember & honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

As we celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary, we're reminded that this liberty was earned through immeasurable courage. #MemorialDay #SafeElections

“The shooting that happened this evening at the @whca dinner is beyond reprehensible. It’s unimaginable that a room full of hundreds of public servants and members of the media, who are together to honor the freedom of the press, have to worry about their physical safety and wellbeing.

As with each of these tragic occurrences, we thank the @SecretService, @DCPoliceDept, and all other members of law enforcement and first responders. Stay safe and thank you for you dedication."

--CSSE Co-chairs @TinaLBarton and @CGrotton

The threat landscape for election officials and law enforcement is still evolving. From AI hoaxes to physical harassment, the goal is the same: disruption.

Don’t wait until the 2026 midterm elections to get prepared.

Use this video as a briefing tool for your team today. #SafeElections

@BenCoWAGov just gave a masterclass in election security.

When a threat hit, they didn't skip a beat. Why? Because the relationships between election officials and law enforcement were already there.

Safety doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through the 5 Steps: Meet, Share, Agree, Plan, Practice.

That’s how you protect the vote. #SafeElections

Today, on President's Day, we honor the leaders who have shaped our nation.

Behind every President is a sacred process -- the process of election administration -- that must be protected. Today and every day CSSE is committed to ensuring that elections are safe, secure, and transparent for voters and officials alike.

If your election office hasn't performed a security assessment yet, the best time to start is now.

CSSE’s checklist—built on CISA and FEMA guidance—is your go-to roadmap for #SafeElections. It’s not too late to level up your security.

ICYMI: When it comes to clearing a massive ballot warehouse, a pair of eyes can’t compete with a nose. 🐾

CSSE member and veteran David (Kawika) Lau recently spoke with the @nytimes about why K9 units are a total game-changer for election safety. As David puts it: "The dog starts searching the minute it pulls up."

Check out this look at how David and @TinaBarton are working to keep our elections processes secure.

Election security is built on a simple, powerful principle: The Two-Person Rule. 🤝

As Tina Barton told @Votebeat, redundancy ensures every step is documented and affirmed. CSSE bridges the gap between election officials & law enforcement to build this trust as we prepare for the 2026 elections.

Preparation = Resilience. Transparency = Trust.

CSSE was proud to be in Washington, D.C. this weekend alongside sheriffs and law enforcement leaders at the @NationalSheriff 'Association's 2026 Winter Conference.

With political violence on the rise, partnerships between election officials and local #lawenforcement are not optional—they’re essential. We spoke about what preparedness really looks like, why coordination must happen well before 2026, and how sheriffs play a critical role in protecting public safety.

Preparation today is how we ensure safe, secure elections in the future.
