The U.S. cybersecurity agency released a plan on Thursday.

The plan is about election security.

It came out 40 days before the November midterms.

The plan lists possible threats to election systems.

It also lists services it will offer to election officials.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin promised to release it by mid-August.

The document warns about software problems.

It warns about hacks of voter registration databases.

It warns about insider threats.

It also warns about physical incidents, like bomb threats at polling places in 2024.

It says many old election practices can help with these threats.

Mullin said election security is national security.

He said the plan would be carried out in full.

The release comes after Mullin pushed claims about noncitizens on voter rolls.

These claims are not proven.

In July, he threatened election officials.

He said they could get fines, penalties or prison time.

This would happen if they did not join a federal voter database.

That database is now blocked.

Research shows noncitizen voting is very rare.

CISA is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

Since 2018, it has warned state and local officials about foreign threats.

But last year, it was mostly absent from that role.

The Trump administration cut about 1,000 employees.

It also cut $10 million from two cybersecurity programs.

CISA has also had no Senate-confirmed director in Trump's second term.

The plan is 13 pages long.

It says DHS has always supported CISA's services.

These services are free to election officials who ask for them.

Several state officials said this is not true.

Minnesota's Scott Simon said his office expects to spend about $250,000 on private security testing.

Maine's Shenna Bellows said communication with CISA had been uneven and irregular.

The plan does not mention specific 2026 threats from Russia, Iran or China.

West Virginia's Kris Warner is a Republican.

He said some CISA help had been continuous.

Nevada's Cisco Aguilar is a Democrat.

He called the lateness a complete failure of leadership.

David Becker is from the Center for Election Innovation and Research.

He said no state now relies on the federal government for this help.
