Elections Support Contact List

As Election Day draws near, we’d like to share a new publicly available resource from CTCL that election officials can keep handy. We’ve put together a list of contact information of national organizations that can support election officials through emergencies, including government agencies and nonprofit organizations. Some of these contacts have state or region specific contact information- we’ve included the links to find the right information for your jurisdiction.

We’ve included two versions of this resource to download – a PDF that’s ready to print and a Word document that’s easily editable. Additionally, we’ve included a blank template of this document if you have more resources you want to add, like state or local contacts. We hope having these contacts on hand gives you peace of mind in case you end up needing them.

Finally, you’ll find all of these contacts below on this page if you want to view the information digitally. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to [email protected].
