TOPEKA - Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab announced today the graduation of the third class of county election officials from the Certified Election Training (CET) Program, which was launched in 2022 under his administration.

The Certified Election Training Program was created to enhance county election procedures, promote statewide consistency, provide additional training opportunities, and prepare officials to implement new policies.

This third graduating class includes 17 election officials from 13 counties across Kansas. Graduates will receive certificates of completion along with commemorative Certified Election Training pins. Since the program's launch, a total 120 election officials have graduated.

"This program provides valuable training and education for Kansas election officials," Schwab said. "It equips them with the tools and knowledge needed to successfully administer elections across the state. I congratulate this year's graduates on their accomplishment."
