About Pledging

Who Can Sign?

Any candidate for public office, regardless of political party or nonpartisan status, in any jurisdiction in the United States. Incumbent candidates are welcome to sign the pledge.

Why Sign the Pledge or Super Pledge?

Recent events and changes to our election system have resulted in plummeting voter confidence. Around the nation, formerly enthusiastic supporters of local, state and national candidates have become disillusioned. As voters, we have reason to doubt that our candidates will take a stand to protect our votes and our democracy. Signing the Standing For Voters Pledge or Super Pledge is a clear way to tell voters that you care that all votes are counted, and counted accurately, and that you will do everything in your power to ensure that the elections are held to the highest standards. Show voters that you will champion the cause of democracy! Sign today!

Candidates who sign the basic Pledge will:

  • receive an attractive linkable emblem for your campaign website that reads, "I am Standing For Voters. I signed the Pledge,"

  • receive permission from Standing For Voters to use this emblem in your printed campaign materials,

  • be listed on the Standing For Voters website

  • qualify for mention in Standing For Voters publicity.


Additionally, those who sign the Super Pledge will:
  • receive the Super Pledge emblem to be used as above,

  • be listed more prominently on the Standing For Voters website, including a link to the page on your campaign website that displays the Standing For Voters emblem,

  • be invited to create a brief video of your pledge, which will be displayed at the Standing For Voters website.
