Two prominent election administrators today made important announcements.

First, EAC commissioner Ray Martinez agreed to stay on at the Election Assistance Commission, until they could find a replacement. (Press release linked from electionline.org).

Second, Dean Logan, head of elections in King County, announced that he was leaving King County to take up a position in Los Angeles County, the deputy registrar.

While I don’t have any way to quantify this claim, it does seem to me as if we are seeing an increasing number of election administrators leave their profession, and a lot of job mobility by election officials. Would certainly make for an interesting study!
