Giving to American Election Reform Charities
Here is the list of American election reform charities we have compiled along with the corresponding website. This is a good place to find organizations like Democracy Chronicles working in one of eight categories including Election Reform, Money in Elections, Transparency, Freedom and Civil Liberties, Election Method Reform, Democracy News, Activism and Election Reform in New York. For more information on the subject of election reform itself, see our American Democracy, Third Party, and Voting Method Central pages that are the gateway to accessing our coverage.
One of our favorite charities is the Center for Election Science whose fundraising charity can be found by clicking the their logo or visiting Also, we recommend the website Reclaim Democracy who are working to create a better representative democracy with an actively participating public, where citizens don’t merely choose from a menu of options determined by elites, but play an active role in guiding the country and its political agenda.
Election reform blogs that we consider essential include Election Law Blog written by Rick Hasen and Ballot Access News by Richard Winger.
