Dear John,
Free and fair elections are the bedrock of peace. They allow us to choose our leaders and have a say in our future.
Since 1989, The Carter Center has been an impartial observer of 113 elections in 39 countries, pioneering standards for the world. Nations invite us in to provide an unbiased assessment of election processes and offer recommendations for future improvements. |
 |
In the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, The Carter Center deployed more than 100 nonpartisan observers to polling stations in Fulton County, Georgia, observed key pre-election processes in Arizona, and trained partner organizations in Michigan.
We developed the “Candidate Principles for Trusted Elections” encouraging candidates, political parties, and voters to commit to integrity and nonviolence during elections.
And we created Democracy Resilience Networks in Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, and Arizona — a cross-partisan collaboration that educates the public about election processes and works to ensure peaceful elections. |

In recent years, the United States has experienced the sort of democratic backsliding and political polarization that plagues so many of the countries where we have worked. Because of this, The Carter Center began working to bolster democracy in our own country, including piloting nonpartisan observation projects in three states. It took hundreds of volunteers and staff from all walks of life and political viewpoints to make this happen.
Our work was a success. It was proof that individuals coming together make a difference.
John, you can make a difference now too.
By making a gift today, you can help bring proven methods for peace to even more places across the globe. We cannot rest until everyone has the chance to choose those who govern and experience the freedom of influencing their future.
With you as our partner, we can continue Waging Peace, Fighting Disease, and Building Hope. Thank you for empowering people to improve their lives.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Carter
Co-Founder and Trustee
