With the 2026 midterm election looming and the smell of barbeque wafting in the air, nearly 600 state and local elections officials gathered in Kansas City, Missouri for the Election Center’s 41st Annual Conference last week.
State and local elections officials from all over the country gathered to hear about best practices from their peers, election researchers and even a few representatives of the federal government. There were sessions on election security, Artificial Intelligenct–the good and bad of it, keeping track of legislation, list maintenance and so much more.
Officials had a chance to meet with dozens of vendors and most importantly, each other to talk about what’s been happening not only in their particular jurisdictions, but also nationally. The networking, be it through the conference or the CERA courses is what so many in attendance seem to enjoy the most.
