Join Us for Our 2-Day Series
This two-day virtual conference features presentations from the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with remarks from our executive team and board chair.
This year, the focus will be on reconciliation training. This event is open to the public and required for:
- County boards of elections directors.
- County boards of elections board members:
- One conference within the first six months of appointment.
- An additional conference within the first two years of service.
- Others seeking to meet certain requirements for certification.
We strongly encourage board members to attend both days of the training, but the first day will provide the information required for board members. The registration fee starts at $50 for individuals that register early (by Feb. 15, 2022) and goes up to $300 for a group.
