2024 U.S. Elections: Guidance for Companies
Following last week’s off-year elections, attention in the U.S. is turning toward the 2024 elections, when American voters will elect the president, determine majority control in both chambers of Congress, choose governors in 11 states and decide numerous ballot initiatives on a wide array of state and local issues across the country.

To jump start the countdown to Election Day 2024, we’ve prepared the first guidance to inform how businesses consider and prepare for internal and external communications relative to the campaigns and elections.
