Your support makes our work possible

Dear Supporter,

Happy Giving Tuesday!

We are proud of all we have accomplished in 2019, and that’s thanks to you and your support. Our staff has worked tirelessly this year to defend every citizen’s access to the facts for the many off-year elections that were held and for the upcoming 2020 election.

We could not do what we do without your help and hope you will continue on with us as we prepare for 2020. 

Here's a breakdown of the work completed in 2019

Thanks to our dedicated research team, we have covered elections and candidates, along with public statements and legislative information!

Statements by Candidates & Officials

We added approximately 67,316 public statements to our Voter’s Self-Defense System this year. In one day, a researcher can log 100 speeches so that you know exactly what your representatives have to say. Help us collect more than ever with an $100 donation.

All our team is missing is you. On this #GivingTuesday, we ask you to support the staff, students and volunteers so we can continue to keep Vote Smart’s resources free and available to all Americans.

Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to arm yourself and your fellow Americans with the facts.

Goals We Have for the Upcoming Year

86,227 Americans came to VoteSmart.org on Election Day alone, with millions more throughout the election cycle. We want to reach even more citizens like you with improvements to our website and online tools that will make the facts even more powerful in the 2020 elections. Help us carry on this important work through 2020.

Thousands of staff, interns and volunteers have worked relentlessly to strengthen the database that millions of citizens across the political spectrum rely on every election season. We need every thinking American. Help Vote Smart defend your right to the truth.

All the best,

Your Friends at Vote Smart
