Survey predicts significant turnover in local election officials before 2024 presidential election.

A new survey from the Brennan Center for Justice predicts that approximately 1 in 5 local election officials will leave their jobs before the 2024 election, with 12% of officials starting after the 2020 election. The survey also found that 30% of respondents had been personally harassed, abused, or threatened, and 22% knew of officials who left their jobs due to fear for their safety. Experts warn that losing expertise and election workers may hurt the management of future elections.
