Meagan Wolfe is the Administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, serving as the state’s Chief Election Official. Meagan was appointed by the bi-partisan, six-member Commission in February of 2018 and unanimously confirmed by the Wisconsin State Senate in May of 2019 for a four-year term. Serving as an election security advocate and ambassador for the needs of Wisconsin’s clerks and voters remains her highest priority as the state prepares for the 2020 election cycle. A significant part of her job is ensuring that Wisconsin’s 1,922 local election officials (the most of any state) have the resources and technology they need to conduct elections. Meagan previously served as WEC’s Deputy Administrator, managing the teams that develop and maintain the statewide voter registration system, election security, and all other IT applications of the Commission. Meagan joined state service in 2011, starting in voter outreach and later leading the multi-year redesign of the MyVote Wisconsin voter information portal, a project driven by data collected from comprehensive usability and accessibility studies.
This panel will provide a chance for policy makers and cybersecurity practitioners to hear directly from state and local election officials about what they need and, perhaps more importantly, what they don’t need in advance of the 2020 elections. Audience members will be able to engage directly with election experts and develop a better understanding of their needs and resource limitations.
