Every eligible voter should have the opportunity to register, learn about the choices on the ballot, cast a private ballot, and have that ballot counted—free from intimidation, interference, or misinformation.

For candidates

Our commitment

We support free, fair, accessible, and unhindered elections. Civic participation is stronger when voters can find reliable information and candidates communicate clearly, respectfully, and responsibly.

Candidates and committees are responsible for the accuracy, content, authorization, and any required disclosures in their own communications.
