Democracy Works, TikTok Announce Partnership
We are excited to share that Democracy Works is teaming up with TikTok to ensure that US TikTok users have access to accurate election information and voting guidance as part of TikTok's 2024 efforts to protect election integrity.
"Democracy Works is committed to ensuring accurate election information and voting guidance are accessible wherever voters may search for it," Democracy Works CEO Luis Lozada said. "With more than 150 million Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs on TikTok, it is vital that these users have access to the reliable guidance they need to cast a ballot with confidence. Democracy Works is excited to partner with TikTok to provide U.S. voters with access to nonpartisan elections data and I applaud TikTok’s efforts to champion voter access and civic participation."
Democracy Works is committed to helping Americans vote by providing reliable, useful voting guidance through the sites, apps and groups they trust. This partnership will help ensure that millions more Americans receive the information they need to cast a ballot with confidence.
The Democracy Works Elections API is helping to power TikTok’s 2024 Election Center with state-by-state guidance on how to register to vote, check your registration, vote by mail, vote early, and more.
This announcement was covered by Engadget, which stated: "TikTok's plan for 2024 comes as experts warn that the rise of generative AI could fuel a new wave of viral election misinformation. On its part, TikTok acknowledges that generative AI has created 'new challenges' for the social media industry..." This is why we at Democracy Works have intensified our efforts to create the infrastructure to safeguard voters from mis- and disinformation through our trusted data.
