Sign the pledge to protect the 2026 elections! CLICK HERE

From a last-minute switch to precinct-based assigned polls in Dallas County to a sudden FBI raid of the Fulton County election office, it’s clear that the Trump administration and republican officials are gearing up for some serious shenanigans this election. Our democracy depends on every voter having an equal chance to cast a ballot and have their vote fairly counted. That’s why Indivisible is launching the Election Protection Corps.

The Election Protection Corps is a grassroots network of volunteers located in Alaska, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas dedicated to protecting the right to vote before, during, and after the 2026 election. When federal protections are removed, defending democracy becomes a community effort.

Sign the pledge today to commit to joining the Election Protection Corps. By signing up now, you’ll receive strategic updates via email and text, training opportunities, and critical calls to action during key election protection moments in your state.
