What Can You Do to Promote Election Integrity?


If you are asking, "But what can one person do?" this page is a good place to start.

You can click the "Take Action" tab on our main menu (look up to top of this page). We post recommended actions as opportunities arise.

At the foot of this page, you will find the Take Action menu tree. Each link opens up to list additional practical, effective ways you can take action in your own community or from your desktop to restore integrity, transparency, and public accountability to U.S. electoral democracy. (Check the "Citizen Activism Tools" and "Action of the Day" links for  updates).

Other Easy Ways to Get Started

1.  Open an EDA web account

Generally newsletters go out twice a month, with occasional regional-specific event announcements in between.
You are always in control of your own subscription.

3.  Volunteer

Whatever kind of organizing work you enjoy doing, EDA needs done -- whether that be events production, public speaking, video, volunteer recruitment, website-building, database programming, research, writing, graphics, publicity, or you name it. You decide what you want to do, and we'll give you the latitude to do it.

4. Donate

EDA is a sponsored project of International Humanities Center, a 501(c)(3) organization, so your donations are tax-deductible.

We welcome your one-time donations for general operating support, or for any particular EDA project you would like to specify.
Recurring monthly contributions are especially helpful. Please select a contribution level that is right for you.

Our donations page makes it easy for you to set up a contribution and automatically receive a record of your donation.

Think Nationally, Act Locally

A core concept we have at EDA is that all elections are local.
There is no substitute for taking action in the precincts and counties where you live and vote.

Our goal at EDA is to build local-to-national collaboration among regional election integrity groups acting locally but also with collective strategy for effecting national outcome. This collaboration is not one-way and top-down, but two-way and interactive. Local groups have invaluable direct experience that can be synthesized and applied at a national level. A national group can develop research, legal, media, and fundraising capacities that are beyond the scope of smaller local groups.

We encourage you to go get active with a local or regional election integrity group where you live -- and then put that experience to work at a national level as well, by becoming an active member of an EDA Working Group. Everything that you learn and do on the local level can be leveraged for double-duty, working with EDA to build a collaborative national effort.

To find a state or regional election integrity group near you, see this directory:
