A Scrutineer is: "a person who counts votes in an election or who makes certain that the counting has been done correctly."

**Scrutineers** believes that ***fair, transparent, and accurate elections*** are essential to the future of our nation - and citizen oversight plays a crucial role in helping protect American elections from interference, discrimination, and errors.

Our work sits at the intersection of Election Protection, Election Integrity, and Election Education.  Most election protection organizations do the vital work of helping ensure that all eligible voters can easily register and vote - their work ends when voters cast their ballots. ***Scrutineers' work starts at the polling place and continues well after election results have been published.*** It's the crucial work of observing at polls, recounts, and audits, and of collecting and documenting election results (poll tapes, ballot images, and results data) to perform comparisons and analyses to ensure that the results are accurate - that every vote gets counted as the voter intended.

**Our mission** is to educate, train, and mobilize *nonpartisan election scrutineers* to ensure all voters can vote, and all votes are counted accurately, in order to increase voter confidence and achieve and sustain a thriving democracy in the United States.

**Our goal** is a nation where all voters and our votes are universally cherished as **essential** to ensuring that those elected to public office truly represent the honorable values and priorities of the people.

Our free trainings educate the public on how to become an active component of election integrity, and on how to communicate with election officials, candidates, and legislators so that transparency and civic participation can restore trust in our elections.

Scrtuinteers' board will be expanding to reflect the diversity of the American electorate.  Our current chair is an AAPI woman with a disability, and the other five members also represent youth, seniors, LGBTQ folks, the disabled, and live all around the U.S.

We can't do this work alone - your support is essential in keeping our work going!  If you aren't already a member, [please join us as a Scrutineer](https://scrutineers.org)!
