Media literacy - the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create and act using all forms of communication - allows individuals to become well-informed citizens. Media literate people have the ability to assess reliable information, are less likely to fall for false information, and know the questions to ask when consuming information about elections. Having a well informed citizenry helps our elections stay secure.

Lack of clarity can lead to confusion, and adversaries may seek to exploit that confusion to spread doubt in the process or disinformation. That’s why it’s important to remember that your state and local officials are the best sources for trusted and accurate information about voting, Election Day procedures, and official results.

We’re all in this together. If everyone does their part, we can and will ensure that our elections are secure and resilient.
