The Election Official Legal Defense Network (EOLDN) is pleased to announce the launch of a webinar series to help election officials improve their offices’ communications duties and opportunities.

Election administrators are called upon more than ever to counter misinformation, defend election administration principles, proactively inform the public, and connect and build trust with voters. In 2022, EOLDN addressed this need by retaining a communications firm to provide free, tailored communications support to eligible election offices throughout the country. EOLDN is now expanding its support of election offices by offering free guidance on managing media inquiries and public relations to election officials throughout the country.

The first webinar, Media Training 101, will feature communications experts who will share strategies with election officials about preparing for media interviews, answering the hard questions, and using these interviews to build trust with voters. CGCN, the group providing its expertise, has played a role in EOLDN success stories, arming election offices across the country with the skills and guidance needed to excel at election communications.
