Election systems aren't perfect. They need to be monitored. Problems need to be reported, corrected.But like many tasks today, there are too few hands for the job. And the job is getting more and more complex.
You can help.
First, report any problem you encounter—during campaigning, voter registration, balloting, or any other time.
Second, publish your report widely. This not only alerts fellow voters to immediate pitfalls, it helps build a database for revamping the system.
Our Hotsheet lets you publish your report instantly—complete, intact, unfiltered—directly to fellow voters, troubleshooters, journalists, researchers, and other interested observers.
Our site makes it easy to—
