Protecting Our Democracy: Why Securing Ballot Boxes is More Important Than Ever
In a recent unsettling series of events, ballot boxes across the U.S. have been targeted and set ablaze, prompting heightened concern about the security of voting infrastructure. At Fast Guard Service, we recognize that protecting our democracy starts with securing the facilities and systems that make it work. We understand that safeguarding these crucial aspects is more than just a matter of public safety—it’s a commitment to upholding citizens’ rights to participate in free and fair elections.
Why Ballot Box Security is Crucial
Ballot boxes are a tangible representation of the voting process and trust in the electoral system. Each time a ballot box is threatened or compromised, it undermines not just individual votes but the entire system. In light of recent incidents, where fires have damaged ballot boxes, ensuring the physical security of these boxes is essential to protect the voting rights of all citizens.

Deploying trained security personnel in areas with high voter turnout or identified threats can deter potential attacks. Our team monitors the surroundings, providing real-time responses to any suspicious activities.
2. 24/7 Surveillance and Response Teams
