With all the news about citizens discovering their voter status has been lapsed, and new rules for being a voter, everyone should check.
But also, sometimes you forget. I have new neighbors who finished moving a month ago, and when I asked if they changed their mailing address and checked their voting status, we discovered they weren’t.
Serious question: Is this legit? Elon and his Nazi buddies are running fake voter registration sites
If you don’t want to give a random site your information (good practice), scroll down and select your state from the drop down menu and it’ll direct you to your state government’s official website to check your registration. I actually had to enter less info than vote.org was asking for to check mine, lol.
From the about page it looks like it’s a non profit that does not enforse or support candidates or parties, they claim to only try and work on erasing the barriers between voters and the act of voting
Yep!
In the political side for nonprofits, there are clear rules of what you can do or not do. So a nonprofit with the goal of getting people to vote should not lean left or right.
In the one I volunteered at a decade ago for gay rights, each volunteer had to sign that they are simply pushing the issue forward, not promoting a particular politician or party. It was pretty freaking clear what party we were aligned with, but we couldn’t actively tell people to go vote for X or Y, only that here’s what party X has shared about the issue, while party Y hasn’t given us any comment about it.
Vote.org is an classic site for voter registration. It has existed many years
That doesn’t answer the question.
Domains can expire, be sold, have their hosting (nameservers) changed…etc it’s very conceivable given the current climate that it could be a malicious site used for data exfiltration from prospective voters. The security posture, if any, of the owner are also unknown, meaning it may be unknowingly compromised.
Especially when you have people willing to drop tens of millions of dollars on voter suppression.
Plain and simple, don’t enter your personal information into a 3rd party site. Use your official government provided ones for this purpose.
That’s fair

search for your state’s Secretary of State website or go to your state’s official website if you are concerned. An official government website will generally have a .gov address or a .state.StateLetterAbriviation.us or some permutation.
