This course is designed to help election officials understand and reduce the risks associated with digital exposure and doxing by providing clear, practical steps that can be applied immediately. As threats, harassment, and intimidation targeting election workers continue to rise, this course focuses on preparedness, awareness, and realistic actions that help protect individuals, families, and election operations.

Inside this course, we:

• Explain what doxing is and how it is used to target election officials
• Identify the types of personal and professional information most at risk
• Guide you through assessing your own digital exposure
• Share practical steps to reduce your online footprint and limit future exposure
• Outline how to respond and who to involve if you are targeted

We highly recommend learners take this course as part of a broader election security and cybersecurity awareness program, and revisit the self-assessment and mitigation steps regularly, especially before major elections or high-visibility events. 

This course should take approximately 60 minutes to complete.
