Election Officials

Election officials play a crucial role in implementing ElectionGuard by coordinating with their technology vendor to incorporate ElectionGuard into their voting solution, educating the public on ElectionGuard and managing election-day operations. Election officials can learn more about ElectionGuard by reading the implementation toolkits and resources provided on this page as well as by watching the informational videos linked below. 

Get Involved

Election officials can get involved with ElectionGuard in the following ways: 

Observe an ElectionGuard-supported election

Several technology vendors have already incorporated ElectionGuard into their voting systems to support real-world elections. If you are interested in implementing ElectionGuard and would like to observe an ElectionGuard-supported election, please reach out to us through our contact form. 

Implement ElectionGuard in your state or local jurisdiction

ElectionGuard is an open-source software development kit that can be incorporated into any voting solution. Election officials should work closely with their technology vendor to implement ElectionGuard in your state or local jurisdiction. If you would like the Election Technology Initiative to be a part of these conversations, or if you would like to learn more about implementing ElectionGuard, please reach out to us through our contact form. 

Serve on the Election Technology Initiative Working Group

The Election Technology Initiative Working Group meets quarterly to discuss updates to technologies managed by the initiative, future technology solutions, technology pilots or implementations and review upcoming publications. This includes the continued development and implementation of ElectionGuard. Please use our contact form to inquire about current openings on the working group.
