Election Emergencies

Election emergencies can develop from public health crises, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, power outages, active shooter situations, cyberattacks and any number of other events. They can affect one jurisdiction, or a whole state. States cannot prepare for absolutely all circumstances, but they can, and have, taken steps to be prepared.
