Idaho - Office of the Idaho Secretary of State
Program Title
A Proactive and Collaborative Approach to Election Security & Threat Response
Program Summary
The 2024 Idaho Election Security Group (ESG) was established by the Idaho Secretary of States Office in 2023 to provide whole-of-state election security management, monitoring, tracking, advice, and response throughout the 2024 election cycle. Serving as the statewide nerve center, the ESG coordinated response, assistance, and messaging for large-scale cybersecurity, physical security, and natural disaster events before, during, and after the 2024 general election. This collaborative effort, involving federal, state, and local agencies, and private sector partners, ensured a secure and successful election in Idaho. The ESG was led by the Idaho Secretary of States CIO and supported by the Idaho Office of Emergency Management, the Idaho Office of Technology Services, the Idaho Military Division, the Idaho National Guard, and Idaho State Polices Criminal Intelligence (Fusion) Center.
