Who runs my elections?
In most states, the chief elections official is an elected Secretary of State, chosen by voters to oversee the democratic process. Learn more about state and local election administration here.
Elections are run at the state and local level.
The people who run your elections are friends and neighbors from local communities like yours, and state and local governments are responsible for elections – not the federal government.
State and local election administrators follow the law, making sure all relevant rules are followed before allowing someone to cast a ballot.
How can I trust that my elections are secure?
Elections have been and continue to be secure. Government security agencies under both Republican and Democratic administrations have confirmed there is no evidence there was compromise of voting systems or any kind of mass fraud in our elections.
Elections administrators also work closely with law enforcement, both to keep voters safe and to hold bad actors accountable.
