Five Steps to Safer Elections

CSSE’s Five Steps to Safer Elections provide information on how election administrators and law enforcement can work together to strengthen our elections.

These written and video resources can help law enforcement and election officials can improve their cooperation by following the five steps: meet, share, agree, plan, and practice.

The Committee for Safe and Secure Elections (CSSE) released this 5-step guide for law enforcement and election officials ahead of the 2022 midterms to help protect voters and elections officials from violence.

Further information about each individual step can be found below.
