    Full call:

    Professors at Towson University (Dr. Natalie Scala and Dr. Josh Dehlinger) are working on research to better train poll workers to identify and mitigate potential cyber, physical, and human threats at polling places during Election Day.  The goal of the research is to enhance the poll worker training process with knowledge of how to identify and mitigate potential threats as they may occur.

    If you have ever served as a poll worker or are planning to do so in 2020, we are asking for your help by participating in a brief research study survey. Your help will enhance our research and give us better insights in developing cybersecurity training modules for poll workers. Participate in the survey through this link: https://tinyurl.com/PollworkerSurvey  We appreciate your response by March 1, 2020.
