Athenian Project: In 2017 we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project weve provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.

We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
