Publication Summary

Voters need elections to work.

We are experiencing unprecedented efforts to undermine, defund, and dismantle the infrastructure of our democracy. To remain resilient against the rising tides of authoritarianism, our elections require a commitment to ensure that every eligible voter can vote and have justified confidence that their vote counts as cast.

Voting technology boosts accessibility, security, and efficiency—but vulnerabilities provide space for attacks on our democracy to operate, whether through an actual attack or propagandistic disinformation. The need for evidence-based elections and public access to clear information about election safeguards is paramount.
