Promoting the People Who Work Elections October 30, 2022
Message themes about election workers prove effective.
As Americans head to the polls and submit their ballots, Citizen Data looked into how people perceive the people who make our elections function.
Messaging centered on election workers increased positive feelings in such areas as the intentions of election workers, election security, and elections being run fairly.
1. Americans Generally Trust Election Worker Intentions
Exposure to messaging providing context about who runs our elections, and the process they implement, resulted in 71% of respondents indicating they believed election workers have good or great intentions when operating elections. Even simply messaging about election administration in general increases positive perceptions of election workers’ intentions.
It pays off when messages center the intentions and motivations for deciding to work as an election worker.
