Elections are critical to our democracy and the political process, but they require lots of preparation and coordination. So how do officials ensure the integrity of elections?

They are also working increasingly long hours to respond to questions and concerns from members of the public. “I take that very personally, because it’s a reflection on me and my office, and I just am very serious about what I do,” said Trudy Hancock, the Brazos County elections administrator and president of the Texas Association of Elections Administrators.
