When voters cast their votes this November in the 2022 elections, they can feel assured their ballot is secure due to a long-standing partnership between Washington’s Secretary of State and the Washington National Guard.

 

“This on-going relationship since 2014 continues to provide that extra layer of protection to what is already a very secure voting system in our state,” said Col. Thomas Pries, the commander of the 252nd Cyberspace Operations Group.

 

Since 2014, cyber security professionals from the Washington National Guard have assisted the Secretary of State’s office to ensure that when a vote is cast in our state, it is counted correctly and accurately. In September, a team of eight members from the Washington Air National Guard and Washington State Guard spent two-weeks working with the Secretary of State’s office to coordinate cyber security support for the November 8th general election. Getting involved early provides the Guard and the Secretary’s office awareness of any issues and ensures they’re detected early.
