Election Security Exchange

What It Is: A nonpartisan hub providing trusted election security resources, training, and timely updates for election officials, organized into Physical Security, Cybersecurity, and Operations resource libraries, plus services including trainings and an Insights & Events series. 

Why It Matters: Election offices face novel risks this cycle — from targeted cyberattacks to physical threats against officials — and companies increasingly need both practical actions and a defensible rationale for supporting election security. This directly reflects Responsibility b) — Strong representative democracy, which calls on business to help protect "effective, transparent and accountable civic institutions" — making the Exchange's concrete, operational guidance (e.g. its recent website-security "fast wins") a template for what that support looks like in practice. 

How to Use It: Companies with cybersecurity, physical-security, or crisis-communications expertise can use the Resource Library to understand what local election offices actually need and consider offering pro bono expertise or in-kind support through the Exchange's Services page.

ReportTransparency International's Global Corruption Report

What It Is: An early analysis in Transparency International's 2009 Global Corruption Report, examining the line between legitimate corporate lobbying — an accepted input to democratic decision-making — and lobbying that captures regulations and policy for private benefit. 

Why It Matters: The report backs its argument with striking figures: politically connected firms are estimated to account for nearly 40% of market capitalization in the UK and 80% in Russia; roughly 2,500 lobbying organizations and 15,000 lobbyists compete for influence in Brussels alone; and US state-level lobbying spending averages $200,000 per legislator, with five lobbyists vying for each lawmaker's attention. Outlines the importance of considering Legitimacy of lobbying efforts, and Responsibility not to crowd out other voices." 

How to Use It: Use this chapter's distinction between legitimate lobbying and policy capture as a discussion input when running a Public Affairs Governance Review with Third Side Strategies' Principled Influence Guide — particularly Step Two's policy assessment — to help sharpen the language in your Public Affairs Engagement Policy defining where advocacy ends and undue influence begins.
