Democracy needs backup. That’s where we come in.
The States United Democracy Center is a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. We connect state and local officials, law enforcement leaders, and pro-democracy partners across America with the tools and expertise they need to safeguard democracy.
We are guided by a bipartisan Advisory Board of former state and federal officials, issue experts, and law enforcement leaders from both major political parties who are committed to protecting the will of the people and the rule of law.

We help protect the freedom to vote and nonpartisan election administration, prevent political violence, fight disinformation, and hold people accountable when they try to undermine our democracy.
