This year, we’re doing something different with our Impact Report. We’ve created a video taking you behind the scenes to learn how we helped millions of Americans vote.

The work we do to help voters isn't glamorous, but it is essential. In 2025, Democracy Works tracked voting law changes across 16 states, published data for 3,462 elections, and helped millions of voters find accurate election information when they needed it most.

With 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats, and 36 gubernatorial races on the line in 2026, the stakes are only getting higher.

Watch the video, read the report, and if this work matters to you — we'd be grateful for your support: democracy.works/impact

This month, New Yorkers are heading to the polls to shape the future of their city, and TurboVote is helping them do it with clarity and confidence. 🗽

The 2025 NYC mayoral primary is one of the most complex local elections in the country, with overlapping contests, party-specific rules, and ranked choice voting in play. But Democracy Works is making sure voters aren’t navigating it alone.

TurboVote is meeting the needs of NYC voters with intuitive, localized features that take the guesswork out of participating:

✅ Seamless access to NYC’s own voter registration system
✅ Personalized guides that explain ranked choice voting and key deadlines
✅ Smart reminders – and a new “I Already Voted” button that pauses nudges once someone casts their ballot
✅ Comprehensive local coverage, including dozens of open city council races likely to be decided in the primary

This is what innovation in civic tech looks like: tools built to meet real voter needs, designed for scale, and ready to drive impact beyond one city or election.

Democracy should work for everyone, in every election. That's why we're building the infrastructure to make voting information accessible and reliable across America.

In 2024, we:

✔️ Partnered with Google, as we’ve done in previous elections, to ensure Americans could find official information about in-person voting and dropbox locations on Search and Maps.
✔️ Powered TikTok’s Election Hub – viewed more than 23 million times
✔️ Partnered with AI tools like Claude and Perplexity
✔️ Reached millions with timely voting reminders through TurboVote

While presidential elections grab headlines, in 2025 we will potentially see thousands of local elections that directly impact our communities. Your donation helps ensure Americans can easily find trusted voting information for every election that matters to them.
