Public confidence in elections is at an all-time low, but nonprofits can play a role in ensuring that people understand how to vote and how their vote will be counted.

Many voters will face challenges when they try to vote in the 2026 midterms: New districts, new identification requirements and deadlines, purged voter databases, a climate of disinformation and fear, and tremendous political noise all combine into a real risk that these hurdles will keep eligible Americans from voting and will silence their voices.

This Nonprofit Guide to Supporting Free and Fair Elections is designed to help nonprofit organizations take immediate, meaningful action to support eligible voters to safely and freely cast their vote and have that vote counted.
