    about watch the vote

    Watch the Vote was built by Shadowbanned Media, independent, people-powered media for the next generation of the political left.

    Watch the Vote is a public map of documented incidents involving election infrastructure and polling places, including threats to poll workers, armed groups near ballot drop boxes, and federal activity near voting sites. The map is updated hourly and links each entry to its original source, providing a centralized way to review reported incidents and their locations.

    A project by Shadowbanned Media. Watch the Vote pulls from published datasets, court records, and news, and refreshes every hour. The only thing visitors can submit is an email sign-up for registration reminders; everything else on the map comes from the automated feeds and editor review. It records organizations and events, never private individuals. Methodology · Data · [email protected] · Instagram

      Get an occasional email reminding you to check that your registration is still active, with key dates ahead of the Nov. 3, 2026 election.

      We email a confirmation link before anything is saved. We don't look up or store your actual registration status — just a link to the official nonpartisan checker. Unsubscribe anytime.

      Report activity

      An editor reviews every report before anything is published. Nothing you submit here appears on the map automatically.

      We don't read or store your IP address. Photos have location data (EXIF) automatically removed before storage. Your email, if given, is used only to follow up on this report and is never shown publicly. We can't verify photos for authenticity before an editor looks at them — reports with a corroborating link are reviewed fastest.
