The public is being bombarded with information and ads about this year’s elections, including dangerously false details about where, when, and how to vote. Adding to the chaos, tech tools — especially generative artificial intelligence — are being used to manipulate voters with deepfakes and spread misinformation at unprecedented speeds.
Voters in competitive states, critical for securing the Electoral College, are particularly vulnerable to these rapidly evolving, reality-blurring narratives. That’s why Issue One is dedicated to providing accurate, trustworthy information about the voting process in every locality and highlighting the crucial role of election officials in administering free and fair elections. Our mission is to cut through the noise and ensure voters have the facts they need to confidently participate in democracy.
Voters urgently need accurate information on how elections work in their specific areas and how election officials ensure every eligible voter’s ballot is counted as cast. To address this critical need, Issue One developed HowElectionsWork.org, guiding audiences to the most authoritative source — state election officials — to get credible information about elections and voting.
VoteWise is a simple and free way for users to fact check information they see online, in their social media feeds, hear in their circles or on the news about U.S. elections. Available on WhatsApp, Telegram, and Meta Messenger, users can submit and fact check content and get nonpartisan, credible information about elections.
VoteWise also has an extensive FAQ function that allows users to learn more about how elections are administered and who administers them, the post-election process, and complicated systems like the Electoral College. Users may also be referred to Issue One’s “How Elections Work” website, providing links to state specific information not covered in the chatbot.
Hearing directly from respected, local messengers about how elections work will help to increase confidence in the integrity and fairness of elections. Issue One developed an Election Integrity Communications Toolkit to empower local messengers with clear information about the security of elections and with shareable content to promote Americans’ freedom to vote.
The Toolkit provides:
VoterCast is a communications product developed by Ideas 42 to give election officials the tools they need to communicate directly to voters about where, when, and how to vote. Issue One is collaborating with Ideas 42 to develop new messaging to help election officials educate voters about election processes and security provisions in their jurisdictions.
