ElectionReady, a provider of election automation and optimization strategy and software solutions announced the availability of a free election assessment starter tool. The assessment is designed uniquely for elections officials and operations staff. "Any elections leader or staff seeking to reduce costs, pin-point areas of potential risk, or prioritize areas of improvement will benefit from the assessment," stated Karl Weiss, ElectionReady Director. "It's something our elections clients have asked for, to help determine their state of Readiness, fine tune their electoral planning process and make evidenced-based decisions as they prioritize the modernization and improvement of their systems and processes."

The ElectionReady assessment tool gives election officials a jump-start by identifying gaps, and opportunities to focus their actions across the electoral lifecycle that will help shape what the election authority does long-term; "Now more than ever, governments are requiring ministries, election commissions or independent bodies to engage in multiple year planning," said John Hollins and former Chief Election Officer of Ontario, Canada. "Tools such as the ElectionReady assessment will be valuable in helping expedite the process, decision-making and improve how the industry manages and modernizes their elections processes to safeguard democracy."
