Elections Emergency Planning Task Force

The Elections Emergency Planning Task Force was created by the 2015 Legislature to research the following issues:

1. potential emergency scenarios that could impact elections;
2. current capacity and authority to address emergency situations;
3. potential direct and indirect costs of an emergency that disrupts elections;
4. maintaining ballot security in the event of an emergency;
5. continuity of office procedures; and
6. communication plans and key emergency contacts.

The task force must submit a report by January 1, 2016 summarizing its findings and listing recommendations for the development of elections emergency plans statewide.
