Apply to be a Center for Election Excellence and become a Pathfinder!
The U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence is excited to announce the launch of the second cohort of Centers for Election Excellence – the Pathfinders!
The first cohort drafted the voluntary, nonpartisan Values and Standards for Election Excellence. Now the Alliance is looking for a new cohort of election offices that will focus on researching what it takes to achieve the standards and chart pathways for the field.
These offices will deepen understanding of what resources are required to run excellent elections, how much excellent election administration costs, and how achieving excellence impacts voters. And they’ll be first in line to pursue official recognition through the Alliance certification platform.
The cohort will make improvements in their offices, tell the stories of their work, and advance the field of election administration. Together.
