• Security measures put in place by election officials to protect: the legitimacy of the election, voters, voter registration and voting systems, their staff and themselves.
• We will go over chain of custody, voter authentication, partnerships with law enforcement, the various safeguards in place.
• Special time will be devoted to observation/watchers: what they can and cannot do, participation numbers this cycle.
