Sept. 15, 2026: With just weeks before the 2026 midterm elections, it is vital for citizens throughout the country to learn how they can help safeguard this incredibly consequential and uniquely threatened election.

Important Changes to How FFEC Works: We at FFEC have worked to promote fairer, more accurate, transparent, and accessible elections for more than two decades.

To that end, we will continue to provide free access to important resources through our website, even though FFEC is no longer a registered Florida corporation and cannot accept donations.
Florida Fair Elections Coalition is a nonpartisan, nonprofit grassroots organization that serves the public good as an election watchdog, educational and research group, and advocate for fair, transparent, accessible, secure, and verifiable elections throughout Florida and our nation.
