BDI Survey Briefing: Threats and Harassment Against Local Officials in 2026Date: August 19, 2026Location: OnlineCategory: Briefing
Following a serious escalation in the political violence risk environment in 2025, new survey results show that local elected officials continue to face sustained threats to their safety and security in 2026. Based on responses from more than 460 officials during the first quarter of the year, the latest findings from the BDI-CivicPulse survey confirm that hostility remains unacceptably high: 54% of officials reported experiencing at least one form of hostility during the survey period, and 76% said they were less willing to engage in at least one key political activity due to concerns about hostility – the highest total rate on record. Join us for a deep-dive briefing on the latest survey findings followed by a Q&A with our research team.
When: 11am Eastern.

The Numbers Everyone Wants: Managing and Sharing Election DataDate: August 18, 2026Location: OnlineCategory: Webinar
Election officials sit on some of the most requested data in public life. Reporters need it on deadline. Researchers and advocates need it to understand how elections are working. Voters need it to trust the results. The demand is constant, but meeting it doesn’t have to be a burden. Election officials can build habits and systems that make transparency the easy path, not the extra one.
This conversation brings together experts who see election data from different sides of the exchange, from collecting it on behalf of the media to studying it closely to managing its distribution at the state level, including through innovative public dashboards. Together they know what newsrooms actually need and when, where the gaps are and what it takes to put information in front of the public before anyone has to ask.
Join Ready For Tuesday at 1 p.m. Eastern for a virtual conversation about the practices and strategies that make being helpful easier. We will talk about what the people requesting data wish officials knew, what officials can do ahead of time to cut down on scrambles later and how good data sharing builds trust on both ends. Election officials will leave with practical ideas they can put to work before the next request lands in their inbox.
When: 1pm Eastern.
