2020 Local Election Official Survey Crosstabs, Split by size

Elections & Voting Information Center at Reed College

Introduction

These are crosstabs for the 2020 Local Election Officials Survey, administered by the Elections & Voting Information Center at Reed College, under the direction of Dr. Paul Gronke and Dr. Paul Manson.

The 2020 Survey is the third survey of local elections officials. Previous surveys were conducted in 2018 and 2019. These surveys are a resource for elections officials, researchers, and others in the democracy and election spaces to access important and timely metrics of the state of the election administration profession at the local level across the United States.

The survey project was initiated in 2018 to amplify local election officials’ voices in national, regional, and state conversations about election administration, integrity, and conduct. The survey project has evolved to provide ongoing metrics on job satisfaction, retirements and replacement, and staffing and workforce retention; a barometer of attitudes and opinions about election integrity and reform; and new measures developed in response to emerging challenges, demands, and opportunities.

The data is weighted here, so the \(n\) values have been rounded to whole numbers. In some cases, this may produce an artifact where \(n = 0\) but the percentage is greater than 0. Statements about question response rates are unweighted - the numerator is the number of respondents that answered a question, and the denominator is the number of respondents that were shown that question. This means that the questions which were not asked of the entire respondent set are balanced to their restricted sample, and survey dropoff is not represented in the percent response figures.
