Trusted Elections and More Representative & Responsive Governance

Fair, credible, and trustworthy elections—whose results are respected by winners and losers alike— are the bedrock of a democratic society. Elections are made possible by a consensus on shared rules and a shared commitment to self-government, ensuring the predictable and peaceful transfer of power. Whether elected or appointed, government officials should serve the public trust on behalf of all Americans. Promoting fair, inclusive, transparent, and responsive governance ensures that Americans have confidence in the democratic system’s ability to co-create with citizens solutions to the most pressing problems of our time, while also addressing the needs of our most vulnerable citizens.
