Center for Tech and Civic Life

Mission

It’s time to push our democracy into the 21st century. The Center for Tech and Civic Life harnesses the promise of technology to modernize the American voting experience. What you get: High-performing election offices. Increased public confidence and trust. A more resilient and adaptive election system. Better informed voters.

We connect Americans with the information they need to become and remain civically engaged and ensure that our elections are more professional, inclusive, and secure. CTCL is a team of civic technologists, trainers, researchers, election administration and data experts working to foster a more informed and engaged democracy, and helping to modernize U.S. elections.

CTCL is a nonpartisan non-profit that uses technology to improve the way local governments and communities interact. We do this by providing free and low-cost resources for local election administrators so they can update the ways they use technology to communicate with voters. We also do this by publishing free, open-source civic datasets that are used in some of the most powerful tools that drive civic participation. And we’re constantly looking for new ways that we can help bring people and government together through technology.
