Election Day puts your network under a kind of pressure it rarely sees. Systems such as polling location Wi-Fi, remote logging and reporting, electronic voting machines, poll books, and volunteer laptops and tablets need to be connected, secure, and able to adapt fast when something unexpected happens. If the network slows, fails, or can’t be trusted, operations slow with it. This checklist helps IT teams think through network, security, and system needs early, so Election Day success isn’t left to chance.
