Insights from Arctic Wolf’s 2024 Election Security Survey

**Executive summary:** Arctic Wolf commissioned a survey of over 130 U.S. state and local election and IT leaders which found many officials feel underprepared for 2024 election-related cyber threats due to staffing constraints, insufficient budgets (36% report inadequacy), and limited election-specific training (50.7% trained); respondents expect increased attack volume versus 2020 and are particularly worried about AI-augmented disinformation and phishing as well as both foreign and domestic threat actors, with recommendations focused on awareness campaigns, phishing hygiene, incident verification, and investment in personnel, technology, and training.
