CONNECTING CANDIDATES, CAUSES, AND VOTERS
500,000 races.
Most of them
uncontested.
Down-ballot elections shape your schools, your streets, your safety — and most of them happen with no one running against the incumbent. OurVoteToday is changing that with tools to market events, gather feedback and strengthen networks.
See Why It Matters
When there's only one name on the ballot, voters don't choose — they inherit. Extremes fill the vacuum. Accountability disappears. And the Party loses the infrastructure it needs to win the races that matter.

It's not that people don't care. It's that running feels impossible without the right tools, the right network, and the right support. That's exactly what OurVoteToday was built to fix.
How we got here.
Local elections start losing the room
As presidential and congressional races dominate media coverage and Party resources, down-ballot races begin to be treated as afterthoughts. Recruitment slows. Funding dries up.
The redistricting wave nobody saw coming
Republicans run coordinated campaigns for state legislatures and county offices in 2010 — and win. They control the redraw of congressional maps for the next decade. Democrats are largely absent from the races that made it possible.
School boards become the new frontline
Organized groups begin targeting school board and library board races specifically because they're easy to win uncontested. Curriculum, book access, and health policy shift — precinct by precinct, with almost no opposition.
500,000 offices. 70% uncontested. The window is open.
The same structural gap that allowed the losses of the last two decades is still wide open. But now there are tools to close it.
"Uncontested races are rising at every level of government — and 2024 was the worst year on record."

OurVoteToday
Built for the Races
Nobody Runs.
A mobile and desktop platform that makes it easier to run, easier to organize, and easier to win — starting at the races most campaigns ignore.
Market Your Events
A social media tool built specifically for political events — not hacked together from Instagram and Eventbrite. Create, promote, and track campaign events in one place.
Hear From Voters
Know how your events land. Collect real-time voter sentiment so you can adjust your message, your tone, and your priorities — while the campaign is still running.
See the Whole Picture
Cross-tabulated campaign performance data broken down by demographics and political geography. Finally, a tool that tells Party leadership what's actually happening on the ground.
Here's How It Works
Search and filter by name, office, or geolocation — anywhere in the U.S., its territories, or the world.
Free for every candidate and cause. Counties are invoiced at 1–3 cents per resident — small counties pay less, large counties more — billed through the county or state Party.
