Ranaghan explained that the Secret Service will design and implement a security plan for the event.
“The U.S. Secret Service, in collaboration with our federal, state, and local partners are committed to developing and implementing a comprehensive and integrated security plan to ensure the safety and security of this event and its participants,” he said.
The announcement marks the “first time a National Special Security Event designation has been granted for a Certification of Electoral Votes and follows a request made by the DC Mayor to designate this event a National Special Security Event,” the release notes.
An Executive Steering Committee will be formed to design the security plan.
According to Politico, the security designation aims to prevent a “reprise of the riot at the Capitol” in 2021.
