Understanding Election Administration

The Civic Resilience Initiative works to build understanding of Pennsylvania's election administration. Here you can find resources for you, your organization, and your community that provide accurate information about our elections. Please share!

Resources

Here are some resources to help share accurate information about Pennsylvania's elections, created in collaboration with Committee of 70.

How Pennsylvania Secures Elections - While the security of elections has always been front and center for election officials, understanding what measures they take to secure that process hasn't always been easy. This document, available in EnglishSpanish and Chinese, provides an overview of how the state and counties ensure our elections are safe and secure.

Pennsylvania’s Post-Election Playbook - Election work doesn't stop when the polls close on Election Day or even when races are called by media outlets. For counties, the work is just beginning. This document, available in EnglishSpanish and Chinese, walks you through all of the work that occurs leading up to official certification of the election results in the days and weeks after Election Day.

Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) Explainer - Maintaining accurate voter rolls has always been an important part of secure elections, but in a society where people are often relocating, it's become more critical for states to be able to share information that helps to maintain the accuracy of those rolls. ERIC is one such tool that allows states to compare voter records to ensure voter rolls are as accurate as possible. Our explainer is available in EnglishSpanish, and Chinese, and also as a short animation.
