Alert noteIn 2020, the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), U.S. Election
Assistance Commission (EAC), Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI), and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
provided "official use only" guidance to state election
officials on the risks associated with electronic ballot
delivery, marking, and return. For the 2024 election cycle,
CISA, EAC, FBI, and NIST are reclassifying and
redistributing this guidance (attached), which remains
operative, so that it can be made publicly available and to
ensure state officials and policymakers are fully informed
of risks associated with electronic ballot return.
