Resources

When running excellent elections, your office doesn’t need to go it alone. The Alliance builds and curates generic resources to help you achieve high standards. Take the best of what your peers are doing across the country and see what works in your area. And, offer ideas and suggestions from your office! Developed by, with, and for election officials, these generic resources come with instructions and information about how to use them for the best impact. You should check with your state or county attorney to see if you’re able to use them.
