The Principles for Trusted Elections is supported by over 70 organizations across the nation. In 2023, the program merged with the Safe and Fair Elections Pledge, a program of the nonpartisan Team Democracy. The two programs share the goal creating positive norms for those leading our democracy. The two programs now operate jointly under the Principles for Trusted Elections.
