Election observation increases connection to community by having volunteers actively participate and learn more about their local elections. The process helps increase confidence, identify trouble spots, and reduces the risk of foul play. Elevated trust in election results increases the sense of community well-being following an election. It also decreases the chance that U.S. elections will be plunged into chaos, or even violence, following the election.
