Counted’s third issue focuses on solutions election officials can implement in the runup to Nov. 3rd and beyond — from preparing for crisis communications to shoring up cybersecurity to ensuring the highest quality tabulation audits. 

True to its mission of recognizing the human side of elections, the issue also features election officials speaking in their own words about how they navigate their busiest season, the physical lengths (often extraordinary) that they go to to serve their voters, and some of the unique career paths that led them to this work. 

Counted should arrive in election office mailboxes by mid-October. (Didn’t receive one? Sign up for your free subscription here.) Readers can access a digital version at www.countedmag.org, and story ideas can be submitted to [email protected].
