Election security refers to the measures and practices put in place to protect the integrity of the electoral process. This includes safeguarding voting systems, ensuring the accuracy of voter registration, and preventing interference from external threats, such as cyberattacks. The goal is to maintain public confidence in the fairness and legitimacy of elections. Key components of election security involve using secure technology, conducting audits of election results, and training election officials. Additionally, collaboration between government agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security, and local election offices is essential to identify vulnerabilities and respond to potential threats effectively.
