Cite & Reuse
VoteRights is built to be cited. Everything here is nonpartisan, tiered by how strong the evidence is, and traceable to primary sources — here is how to cite it, reuse it, and reach us.
How to cite
Because the project is published pseudonymously for security, cite the organisation — VoteRights.org — as the author, not an individual. Always also cite the primary sources listed on the page you draw from: VoteRights aggregates and tiers evidence, but the courts, official reports, indictments, and observer missions are the record.

}License & reuse
The content on VoteRights — the summaries, ledgers, and structured data — is licensed CC BY 4.0. You may share and adapt it, including commercially, as long as you credit “VoteRights.org” with a link. Machine-translated pages are labelled and point to the English source of record; prefer the English source when quoting precisely. The platform code is developed in the open on GitHub.
Data & API
For programmatic use, the whole corpus is available as bulk exports and a read-only JSON API — both CC BY 4.0.
For journalists
VoteRights is an independent, nonpartisan database of election integrity and foreign influence. It separates five categories — result falsification, process violations, foreign interference, information operations, and statistical anomalies — and tiers every finding by how strong the evidence is, applying the same standard to every country and party. Every published fact traces to a listed primary source, and every archived source is snapshotted.
Boilerplate
VoteRights.org is an independent, nonpartisan database documenting how elections are run, attacked, and defended — with evidence, tiered by strength, and every source archived.
Why there is no named author
The project documents state-linked influence operations, so the operator publishes pseudonymously to reduce personal risk. There is no spokesperson to interview; please cite the organisation and reach us through the contact form. Every edit is a public commit, so the record stays fully auditable.
