Summary
The Elections Group is the US election-administration consultancy that works with state, county, and local election offices on poll-worker recruitment, polling-place safety, election-worker wellbeing, and operational best practice for vote centers and ballot drop boxes.
Body
The Elections Group’s consulting practice focuses on three operational domains: election-worker recruitment (the workforce pipeline that runs polling places on election day), polling-place safety (the security and incident-response protocols at the precinct level), and election-official wellbeing (the human infrastructure that retains experienced staff across cycles). Their methodology is direct practitioner-engagement, not academic survey. [source: elections-group]
In the wake of US 2020 election-officer harassment and a documented wave of election-official resignations, the firm’s work on retention and safety is widely cited in civic-design conversations. Their public reports inform arguments about federal/state funding for election-infrastructure resilience. [source: elections-group]
The firm is also active in the Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) and election-design space — its principals have written on vote-center design, ballot drop box security, and the operational consequences of last-minute rule changes (e.g. emergency COVID-era rule changes in 2020). [source: elections-group]
