Voting/formal
Voting and formal political activities mobilize people to influence public policy through formal political channels. Examples include campaign work, publishing profiles of candidates regarding their records of support on various public issues, coordinating voter registration drives, attending hearings, or working for election integrity.
The political organizations featured here will provide you with resources on government accountability, civil rights, media reform, public research, and the democratic process. They will also spark ideas on ways to address United States’ political and economic policies that impact the communities you visited.
Citizens for Election Integrity is an organization whose primary purpose is to ensure that votes are counted accurately. It educates citizens about the election system, publicizes concerns about voting technology, encourages citizen participation in the election process, and lobbies government officials to support election reform.
The mission of Common Cause is to strengthen public participation and faith in our institutions of self-government; to ensure that government and political processes serve the general interest, rather than special interests; to curb the excessive influence of money on government decisions and elections; to promote fair elections and high ethical standards for government officials; and to protect the civil rights and civil liberties of all Americans.
IPA seeks to broaden public discourse. With systematic outreach to media professionals, the Institute provides news releases that offer well-documented analysis of current events and underlying issues. Serving as a consortium for an abundance of diverse expertise, IPA makes frequent communication possible between independent policy analysts and working journalists. IPA promotes the inclusion of perspectives that widen the bounds of media discussion and enhance democratic debate.
