On this 33rd anniversary of the #ADA, @EACgov Commissioners applauded the efforts of election officials nationwide to make voting more accessible, but acknowledged there is still work to be done. Read the full statement: eac.gov/news/2023/07/25/eac-… #ADA33
ALT "Today, we applaud the outstanding efforts of election officials but also recognize there is more to be done. We look forward to continuing to help officials serve voters with disabilities as we work together to meet the promise of a private and independent vote for all Americans"- EAC Commissioners

Tabulators held together with duct tape. Old voting machines that melt under pressure. Out of date computers. The cause is simple: A severe lack of federal funding for election administration, writes @tianaej of @HelloCTCL.

The State Board of Elections isn't just busy during "election season." We are always busy working on improving elections in Illinois and keeping the public informed.

I want to recognize Denver's elections workers--most of whom are retirees, respected community elders, and veterans proudly working 14 hr shifts to make democracy happen. To everyone else criticizing their pace, or meal breaks, either come sign up, or kindly, STFU. 😉🇺🇸 – at Denver, CO

Every American should be able to easily access accurate, trustworthy information about their government. We’re proud of the work we did in 2022 to make civic information available online in the places where voters most look for it.

Online chatter and ongoing harassment suggest that security concerns will persist, if not increase, ahead of the next #election cycle. Resources are being offered to help election officials cope with this new reality.
