Department of State Launches Responsive Training Program for County Election Directors

In keeping with Governor Shapiro’s commitment to ensure safe and secure elections in Pennsylvania, Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt launched the Department of State’s new Election Directors Training Team, providing election administration education and support to Pennsylvania’s county election directors.

“The Department of State is working closely with counties to ensure they are prepared for the 2024 presidential primary and general elections, and we believe this team will give our county election officials additional tools to help them administer free, fair, and safe elections,” Schmidt said. “Because the election administration landscape has changed so much since the last presidential election in 2020, and counties have seen an unprecedented amount of turnover among their top election officials during that time, the Department made it a priority this year to offer this additional training and support.”
