Advertising for our election integrity campaign is in full force! People throughout the county will see messages promoting all the steps that election officials take to protect votes and make sure every eligible vote is counted. You can see the ads in action everywhere from Instagram and Facebook, to streaming, cable, YouTube and more.

Securing technology is one of the ways we protect votes and we have strong cybersecurity measures in place. Voting system software and voting equipment are NEVER connected to the internet, don’t have modems or hardware that could be turned on remotely and USB ports are locked. Click to learn more about how technology is secured.

When registering to vote, people must sign, under penalty of perjury, that they meet eligibility requirements. Voter registration is validated against the Department of Motor Vehicles and Social Security Administration databases. 

Shout out to one of our ambassadors, Stacy, for responding to comments on one of our social media ads! You can do the same by sharing trusted elections resources, such as secure-election.org.
