['Lawrence Norden', 'Lauren Miller', 'Wendy R. Weiser', 'Elizabeth Howard', 'Mekela Panditharatne', 'Noah Giansiracusa']

Date: 2023-08

Insider threats are not a new phenomenon in election security. But the current participation of election deniers in the election process, and active recruitment of more, has sparked an increase in breaches of the physical security of election equipment. Election officials have an affirmative obligation to implement steps to prevent and detect unauthorized access to voting systems, and if a breach does occur, to take remedial action to address any harm that the breach may cause.

This letter recommends steps that election officials can take to prevent unauthorized access to voting systems, respond to any breach that occurs, and maintain public confidence in future elections.
