Western Leaders Democracy Champions

From county clerks to secretaries of state, election officials are the champions of our democracy. They ensure U.S. elections are free, fair, and safe; they work to counter disinformation and misinformation; and they are advocates for voting rights and access.  

The Q&A profiles below feature election officials who shared their insights, experiences, and expertise on how to prepare for elections, enhance election security, protect election workers, and more.
