With the results of this historic election, we know every campaign—from the largest national races to local efforts—contributed to the political landscape in meaningful ways. As members of the AAPC community, the Pollie Contest is our annual opportunity to reflect on that hard work, learn from one another, and recognize the tremendous impact of efforts on both sides of the aisle.

In a challenging year for many, it’s essential to remember the power of campaigns to shape conversations, inspire action, and drive civic engagement. From creative polling and data insights to innovative ads and powerful GOTV initiatives, every piece has played a role in engaging voters. And unlike other awards, the Pollies are peer-reviewed, ensuring recognition comes directly from others who understand the complexity and dedication involved in this work.

We’re also excited to gather with you at our Election Post-Mortem event on November 19th, where we’ll explore key lessons and insights from some of this cycle’s most pivotal moments. This is a valuable chance for all of us to learn together as we look toward the next cycle.
