Faces of Democracy
A campaign of election officials and poll workers to strengthen U.S. elections
Our peers and neighbors are the election officials and poll workers that keep our elections free and fair, but they need regular, predictable, and sufficient funding to protect and modernize America’s election infrastructure. In addition, those serving on the frontlines of our democracy need legal protection from harassment and intimidation. Learn about our work to elevate the voices of election officials and workers in the policy debate through our Faces of Democracy campaign.
