Election integrity
As Americans head to the polls in this tightly contested presidential election year, WSU Insider takes a look at the people and processes that enable the fair casting and counting of ballots. This four-part series was undertaken with help from WSU’s Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service, which is part of the national Election Integrity Initiative, a nonpartisan effort to promote greater civic understanding in the lead-up to the 2024 general election.
Ensuring election integrity
With continuing misinformation about U.S. elections, WSU’s Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Service is part of a national effort to help educate and inform voters about the reliability of democratic self-governing.
Election integrity:

The careful work that goes into creating, distributing, and accurately counting ballots is carried out by local election workers whose efforts begin long before Election Day.
Election integrity:
Election workers contend with harassment, threats
In addition to collecting, securing, and tabulating millions of ballots, election workers face an additional obstacle: a rising tide of harassment and threats of violence.
Election integrity:
50 states, 50 election processes
How states administer elections and the laws that govern those processes impact how quickly results are known as well as perceptions of the validity of elections.
