Official email reply
Reply from an address published on a government, legislature, election authority, or official campaign source. The domain and role must match the record.
Verified access · public facts stay public
Claim the profile.
Never claim the record.
Verification lets an officeholder, candidate, or authorized representative add attributable links, answers, and profile material. It does not create ownership of public facts, a ranking advantage, or a right to remove criticism.
Start identity review
Connect the person to the public record.
The request begins by email so Election.org can reply through an independently checked channel. Nothing changes on the live page when this form is opened or sent.
Three strong verification lanes
Use a channel the claimant did not invent for this request.
Election.org independently locates the channel before issuing a challenge. Government email is preferred, but local governments that do not use .gov still have a safe path.
Website challenge
Place a one-time token in DNS or on an independently linked official website. The token proves control of that domain, then a reviewer matches that control to the person or authorized team.
Published office contact
Election.org calls or writes through a phone number or address already published by the responsible government or filing authority—not contact supplied only in the claim.
What verified access can add
A clearly attributed official voice.
- Official website, social, and contact links
- Current photo and short biography
- Candidate Standard and public-docket answers
- Correction requests backed by a primary source
What it can never buy
Control over the public record.
- No deletion of sourced filings, votes, results, or disclosures
- No favorable ranking, badge placement, or search treatment
- No unlabeled blending of claimant statements with official facts
- No publication before the verification challenge succeeds
