Election Security Risk Outlook: Cyber, Physical, and Operational Threats Ahead of the 2026 U.S. Midterms

As the 2026 U.S. midterm elections approach, election officials, public-sector leaders, and organizations supporting election operations are evaluating risks across cyber, physical, informational, and operational domains.

Watch as Marci Andino, Jared Holt, and Adam DeLuca have a forward-looking discussion of the current threat landscape heading into the midterms. The conversation examined how emerging threats and disruptions can affect election infrastructure, personnel, facilities, information environments, and continuity of operations—and what organizations can do to improve situational awareness, coordination, and response.

What You’ll Learn:
  • How cyber risks may affect election infrastructure, systems, vendors, and supporting services
  • Physical security and personnel-safety considerations for election organizations
  • How online narratives, disinformation, and coordinated activity can complicate awareness and response
  • The operational dependencies that can influence election continuity
  • Practical considerations for intelligence sharing, incident response, and crisis communications
  • How organizations can strengthen preparedness ahead of the 2026 midterms
