2022 LEO Survey Crosstabs, Split by size

Introduction

These are crosstabs for the Democracy Fund/Elections & Voting Information Center at Reed College Local Election Official Survey for 2022.

The 2022 Survey is the fourth survey of local elections officials. Previous surveys were conducted in 2018, 2019, and 2020. We are using this survey to lift up local election officials’ voices in national, regional, and state conversations about election administration, integrity, and conduct. The survey provides local officials with an important, timely, and respectfully brief opportunity to weigh in on issues of concern in the profession.

The survey was fielded from June 21, 2022 to September 22, 2022.

We appreciate the thoughtful responses that we received from so many LEOs. More details on the 2022 survey, includng survey methodology, questionnaires, and past surveys can be found at the Elections & Voting Information Center webpage and by contacting EVIC.
