Specific assignments will be mutually agreed based on local needs and the consultant’s expertise and availability. Services may include:
Providing local context on ballot cure procedures, relevant contacts, or a specific election administration question, drawing on existing knowledge and appropriately sourced information.
Facilitating introductions to relevant state or local party contacts, campaign staff, voter protection partners, or election administrators through existing professional relationships.
Helping obtain clarification of a specific local process or issue through lawful, appropriate channels and identifying the people or resources best positioned to address it.
Providing a concise summary of findings, sources, unresolved questions, and recommended next steps for an agreed assignment.
Deliverables may be a consultation, an introduction, a confirmed procedural answer, or a short written summary. The scope does not include managing Civitech’s ballot cure operations, supervising staff, providing routine field coverage, or serving as a standing representative at election offices.
How the Engagement Works: Each assignment will define the requested result, timing, fees, and any agreed expenses before work begins.
Consultants determine their own approach, methods, and schedule for accepted assignments, subject to agreed deadlines and applicable confidentiality, data security, and legal requirements.
There are no set shifts, daily reporting requirements, routine office visits, or standing night or weekend commitments.
The engagement is nonexclusive. Consultants may provide services to other clients, subject to confidentiality and any agreed conflict of interest requirements.
Civitech’s Senior Program Director will be the contact for agreeing on assignments and receiving deliverables. Any in person services or travel will be addressed in the applicable assignment.
