Secure Your People, Secure Yourself.Date: October 14, 2026Location: OnlineCategory: Webinar
You’ve already spent months securing your systems ahead of Election Day, but securing elections is also about securing yourself and your people. When your home address appears online, a voter is shouting at a poll worker, or a staff member receives a threatening message, it’s not the moment to improvise. Election officials and their teams need to know how to reduce exposure, recognize when a situation is escalating, document what happened, and get help.
But protecting your people involves more than reducing their online presence or preparing them to respond to confrontation. It also means recognizing the mental and physical strain of long hours, public scrutiny, repeated hostility, and high pressure work. Over time, that stress can affect attention to detail, communication, decision making, and the ability to respond effectively when challenges arise. Supporting staff and poll worker well-being should not be a second thought or something to address after the election. It is a core function of maintaining a secure, prepared, and resilient election office.
We’ll cover how to:
– Shrink your digital footprint and reduce the risk of doxxing– Prepare staff and poll workers to navigate difficult interactions and defuse conflict to keep the polling places running smoothly
– Review personal security: what to do, what to report, who to call, and how to document a threat
– Prioritize mental health as a security asset
