Election integrity
Verify voter registration, candidates, and campaign finance
TruthMark does notscore politicians or aggregate campaign-finance data. We direct you to your state's authoritative election authority — the office that runs your elections — and to the federal regulators that handle federal campaign finance, voting rights, and election security. Why we do it this way →
Federal cross-reference
Federal election authorities
Federal agencies handle federal-level campaign finance (FEC), voting rights enforcement (DOJ), election-system standards (EAC), and election infrastructure cybersecurity (CISA). They do NOT run elections — that's a state responsibility.
Federal Election Commission (FEC)
Open ↗Federal Election Commission
The FEC administers and enforces federal campaign-finance law. The FEC's data portal hosts every federal candidate, committee, PAC, and independent expenditure since 1979 — donations, disbursements, and electronic filings updated in near-real time. The FEC does NOT run elections; it regulates federal campaign money only.
U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC)
Open ↗U.S. Election Assistance Commission
Independent bipartisan commission established by the Help America Vote Act (HAVA, 2002). Develops voluntary voting-system guidelines (VVSG), certifies voting systems, distributes HAVA grants to states, and produces the biennial Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS). Does NOT run elections — that's a state responsibility.
CISA — Election Security (#Protect2024 / Protect Our Democracy)
Open ↗U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
CISA is the federal lead for election infrastructure cybersecurity. Coordinates with state and local election officials on threat intelligence, phishing defense, and voting-system security. Designated election infrastructure as 'critical infrastructure' under DHS in 2017.
DOJ Civil Rights Division — Voting Section
Open ↗U.S. Department of Justice — Civil Rights Division
Federal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, the National Voter Registration Act, the Help America Vote Act, the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, and other federal voting-rights statutes. Brings DOJ litigation against jurisdictions that violate these laws.
DOJ Public Integrity Section — Election Crimes Branch
Open ↗U.S. Department of Justice — Criminal Division
Federal prosecution of election-fraud crimes — vote buying, ballot stuffing, multiple voting, voter intimidation, and false-statements offenses. Each U.S. Attorney's Office has a designated District Election Officer (DEO) who reports to PIN.
FBI — Election Crimes Reporting
Open ↗Federal Bureau of Investigation
Federal investigative authority for election-fraud, voter suppression, and campaign-finance crimes. Reports route through local FBI field offices or tips.fbi.gov. The FBI is NOT the first responder for routine voting issues — those go to state and local elections officials.
FEC Campaign Finance Data Explorer
Open ↗Federal Election Commission
Interactive search of every federal-level campaign-finance filing since 1979. Search by candidate, committee, donor, or industry. The OpenFEC API (api.open.fec.gov) is the programmatic equivalent — free, unlimited for registered users.
Library of Congress — Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress
Open ↗Library of Congress
Authoritative historical record of every person who has ever served in the U.S. Congress (1774–present) — biography, terms served, committee assignments, party affiliation. The official congressional historical reference.
USA.gov — Find Your Elected Officials
Open ↗U.S. General Services Administration
Federal government's canonical 'who represents me' starting point. Hands off to USPS for ZIP→district lookup and links out to official congressional / state-legislator finders. TruthMark deep-links here rather than building its own address-to-officials aggregator.

Looking for a politician scorecard?
TruthMark does not score politicians
Editorial scoring (e.g. “Child-First Score”) is a different product category. TruthMark's job is to direct you to the authoritative source; rating politicians is the job of advocacy organizations who own their methodology publicly. The scorecards page lists five third-party scorecards a voter might consult — First Focus Campaign for Children, CDF Action Council, Vote Smart, FollowTheMoney, Ballotpedia — with notes on each one's framing.
Cross-module suggestions are unavailable right now — refresh to retry, or browse modules directly at /search.

Data via state Secretaries of State (or equivalent), state ethics / campaign-finance commissions, FEC, EAC, CISA, and DOJ Civil Rights Division. Editorial scorecards are listed separately for context; TruthMark does not author one.
