Verified Voting’s mission is to strengthen democracy for all voters by promoting the responsible use of technology in elections. The staff, Board, and Board of Advisors consist of nationally-recognized subject matter experts on the issue of election integrity and the responsible use of technology. Since its founding in 2004 by computer scientists, Verified Voting has acted on the belief that the integrity and strength of the democracy relies on citizens’ trust that each vote is counted as cast.

Examples of their work include:
- Bringing together policymakers and officials who are designing and implementing voting-related legislation and regulations with technology experts who comprehend the risks associated with the emerging digital landscape, particularly the online and electronic elements in voting.
- Connecting advocates, researchers, the media, and the public to provide a greater understanding of these complex issues.
- Providing guidance to election officials around the country, helping them implement best practices like post-election risk-limiting audits that acknowledge local needs.
- Developing assets including the most comprehensive publicly-accessible database of voting systems used around the country (The Verifier), background information on election equipment, and archives of news and publications on election technology.
