Do you want politicians to pay attention to what you want, and work hard for your vote? Do you want elected officials who reflect the wishes of their constituents? Do you want to end the “lesser of two evils” conundrum, and empower new voices to run for office? 

If you want these things, support our work to advocate and educate for approval voting.  Approval voting is a simple, but mighty voting reform that addresses what people hate about our politics.

With approval voting, political candidates are incentivized to talk to you, not just their partisan backers. With approval voting, our elections will reflect where we agree as a country, not an exercise designed to divide us. 

If you donate today, here is what you’ll support: 

• A National Voice for Approval Voting: Approval voting remains a new concept for most Americans. CES is committed to raising awareness about this reform with timely events, regular content, and research partnerships with authoritative sources.

• Coalition-building for reform: CES is focused on building bipartisan coalitions of community stakeholders with deep roots in their jurisdictions to put approval voting on the radar. Our coalitions work to advance both ballot initiative efforts, and legislative pathways where possible.

• Cutting-edge Elections Research: CES was founded on the relentless pursuit of a better way to vote. We remain committed to data-backed research and academic partnerships that inform our leaders and the public at-large about positive reforms for our elections and broader political system. 

With your support, we can make your vote more powerful, and make our elections work better for you.
