April is National County Government Month

At least according to the National Association of Counties. So first off, thanks to the many county government employees and officials who help make our elections (and plenty more) work. To honor local government and help promote election procedures and information, the Election Assistance Commission has developed detailed guidebooks and educational resources on a variety of election administration topics.

Resources include a Voter's Guide to Federal Elections, Glossaries of Election Terminology, Pollworker Guidebooks, and more.

Luckily, nonprofits can also take advantage of these materials, as many are available online. These are excellent tools for encouraging greater participation in elections, particularly among potential pollworkers and other democracy facilitators.
