Election Mis / Disinformation Response Network

Election Mis/Disinformation Response Network

As we witness an increase in bad actors profiting from disinformation narratives, the weakening of content moderation, and the spread of algorithmically targeted misinformation, voters face growing barriers to accessing verified sources. 

As a Election Mis/Disinformation Response Network volunteer, you will help identify election-related misinformation and disinformation before it spreads. The primary objectives of this program are to provide voter support and help combat voter suppression in the lead up to the 2026 midterm elections.

  • What voters can expect as they navigate the current information ecosystem.

  • An overview of the program and the mission. 

  • The different types of Cyber Suppression 

  • What resources will be available to you during your shift as monitors

After watching the video, please complete this checklist, where you will be guided through the next steps of the process, including how to sign-up to monitoring shifts.
