Our work
A flexible voter protection program that goes where the need is
Our mission is fair and equal access to the ballot for every eligible citizen. For the 2026 cycle, we are running a program that connects volunteers, legal expertise, and state partners where additional capacity is most needed.
The threats are arriving earlier and moving faster than they used to. Disinformation campaigns launch weeks before polls open. Ballot design decisions are locked in long before traditional programs spin up. The window to intervene is shrinking — so we work early, and we stay through Election Day.
Focus area 1
Misinformation & disinformation response
Bad actors now use AI-generated content and coordinated inauthentic behavior to spread false information about voting rules, poll locations, and ballot procedures — and platforms have pulled back on moderation. We are one of the few organizations in the nonpartisan voter protection ecosystem with the specialized capacity to answer this.
- Train volunteers to identify emerging election misinformation and escalate significant threats.
- Support partner monitoring needs with technology-assisted, real-time coverage across major platforms.
- Coordinate same-day counter-messaging and prebunking through channels voters already trust.
In 2025, when disinformation spread about early voting locations hours before polls opened, our monitoring team identified the content, traced its origin, and coordinated counter-messaging with the statewide coalition within the same news cycle.
Focus area 2
Registration & ballot access
Eligible voters are kept from the ballot by problems that are fixable if someone catches them in time: registration challenges, voter-list errors, mail ballot confusion, and ballots rejected for curable defects.
- Deploy volunteer capacity around registration challenges, voter-list issues, and ballot cure.
- Connect affected voters with accurate information and legal and administrative remedies before Election Day.
- Flag patterns that suggest systematic error for legal partners and election officials.
Focus area 3
Volunteer mobilization & election protection capacity
Volunteers are the human infrastructure at the core of everything we do. We recruit, train, and connect attorneys and other volunteers with state and national partners that need additional capacity — and we build pipelines that last beyond one cycle.
- Structured trainings for coalition partners and volunteers, tailored to each state's threat landscape.
- Recurring monitoring shifts and Election Day coverage.
- Partner referrals and national recruitment pathways for attorneys.
National volunteer & legal partners
Lawyers for Good Government is helping recruit volunteer attorneys into our election misinformation monitoring program. After completing VPC training, attorneys join recurring monitoring shifts and Election Day coverage, with opportunities to support escalation and platform-response efforts.
We are also launching a project through We the Action, creating an additional national recruitment pathway for attorneys who want to participate in VPC trainings and monitoring shifts.
Where we work
Priority states this cycle
We work through partnerships with organizations in priority states, helping fill capacity gaps rather than building parallel programs. Current engagement ranges from active program planning and upcoming volunteer opportunities to early conversations about election protection and counter-disinformation capacity.

Beyond 2026
Building programs that can travel
Our goal is voter protection capacity that does not disappear between elections: modular volunteer programs that can be deployed across states and cycles, year-round misinformation capacity that partners can eventually operate themselves, and multi-cycle relationships with funders, state organizations, legal partners, and volunteers. The work of building toward 2028 starts as soon as the 2026 results are in.
