Reporting Election Misinformation

We're concerned about people trying to discredit our elections and election processes. In politics, there's always zealous advocacy where people try to cast their position in the best possible light. If you see something that goes beyond zealous advocacy into intentional deception about the election and voting process, we'd like to know about it. We're also interested in widespread misinformation, whether or not you think there's any intentional deception. A strong democracy requires people to have good information!

You can report the incorrect information anonymously or request follow up from the League of Women Voters Trust in Elections team.  Please give us as much information as you can about where to find the misinformation, so we can look into it thoroughly.
