Nearly Half of 2020 Election Officials Have Left Their Jobs: Report
A 41% turnover rate among local election officials by 2024 reflects challenges such as aging workforce, increased job complexity, and hostility post-2020 election, researchers report.
- Local election officials are leaving their jobs at the highest rate in decades, with nearly two in five officials who helped run the 2020 presidential election no longer in their roles.
- The surge in turnover among election workers is attributed to the lasting fallout from the 2020 election and Donald Trump's failed attempt to overturn the results.
- Despite the unprecedented turnover and challenges, researchers say that election officials are still able to administer fair elections, with almost 9 in 10 voters feeling the 2024 election was run well.
