CenDemTech🗳️ Election officials' voices are crucial for tamping down #misinformation about voting procedures, but they must first be equipped with the necessary skills & strategies. That’s why CDT and the Center for Technology and Civic Life partnered to develop the 2024 course “Combatting Election Misinfo.” The course, originally created ahead of the 2020 election, relaunched in June of this year. Much has changed since the original training was developed: https://cdt.org/insights/helping-election-officials-combat-misinformation-in-2024-an-updated-course-from-cdt-and-ctcl/
But many of the goals for this course remain the same as in 2020, as #ElectionOfficials are a key actor in upholding election integrity, providing authoritative info about time, place, & manner of elections, & countering #VoterSuppression #misinformation. https://cdt.org/insights/helping-election-officials-combat-misinformation-in-2024-an-updated-course-from-cdt-and-ctcl/
Election officials face an increasingly demanding set of responsibilities, in addition to challenging changes to the election info environment ahead of November – @CenDemTech is pleased to once again partner with @HelloCTCL.
