Implementation Strategies
ElectionRAMP is designed to be actionable — not theoretical. To succeed, the framework provides clear pathways for integration at the federal, state, and local levels.
- Federal Incentives: Tie adoption of ElectionRAMP controls to existing grant programs (e.g., HAVA, DHS/CISA funding).
- Model Legislation: Provide template language that state legislatures can adopt to embed ElectionRAMP into law.
- State Compacts: Enable groups of states to voluntarily adopt ElectionRAMP together for shared best practices and procurement power.
- Vendor Compliance: Require election technology providers to meet baseline certification standards derived from the framework.
- Leverage Existing Funding Models: Avoid new budget demands by aligning with established funding channels and cooperative agreements.
