Professional workspaces
Saved research, collaborative lists, alerts, exports, and change history for people who use Election.org every day.
Support the public record · build on trusted civic infrastructure
Free for the public.
Valuable at scale.
Election.org monetizes the work around the public record—not access to democracy. Individuals get open civic information. Organizations pay for reliability, workflow, implementation, and reach.
THE BUSINESS MODELPublic facts create trust.
Professional infrastructure creates revenue.
The same sourced record can power a free resident lookup, a newsroom module, a monitored data feed, and an institution’s public interface—without changing the facts for any customer.

Become a founding supporterThe line money cannot cross
Trust is the product.
If a revenue stream weakens the public record, it is not revenue we should take.
The public record stays public
Ballot lookup, core records, sources, corrections, and ordinary browsing remain available without a paid account.
Payment never changes the facts
No customer, campaign, sponsor, or donor can buy a ranking, favorable label, hidden correction, or missing opponent.
Sponsors are visible
Coverage underwriting and sponsored public tools are labeled with who funded them and what editorial control they do not receive.
We sell service—not public ownership
Organizations can pay for speed, reliability, custom interfaces, hosting, support, and analysis. They do not own the underlying public facts.
