Report Description

Since 2020, the Department of Homeland Security has taken certain actions to address cyber and physical security threats to the election infrastructure but has adjusted its efforts to combat disinformation. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added a new Election Security Advisor position in each of its 10 regions to provide specialized assistance to election infrastructure stakeholders. CISA also continues to provide security resources to state and local partners to improve election infrastructure security, such as cyber and physical security assessments and tabletop exercises.
