Election Tips and Fundamentals

Townships vary dramatically in size and location, but they all have elections in common. Every township runs elections, and each of you are challenged with doing so safely. While some logistics are tried and true, other new procedures for handling hurdles like COVID-19, cyber-attacks, AV ballots and more, must be put into place.

MTA can help! We’re putting together an online webcast series Elections Tips and Fundamentals to help you learn more about these new challenges, and offer tips designed to help you organize and prioritize your elections.

Registration information is coming soon!
