This November, voters in a number of states will elect their chief elections officials - but most have not paid much attention to these races. Though the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections turned attention to the role of secretaries of state, these races have still taken a back seat to the higher-profile gubinitorial and congressional contests.

In order to support reforms aimed at achieving fair and uniform elections at the state level, FairVote has created the Democracy SoS Project. This resource includes information on the chief election official(s) in every state as well as the electoral responsibilities of their office and how the office is filled. We provide you information on each state's candidates, as well as their answers to our candidate questionnaire. Inform yourself this November to prevent your state from becoming the Florida of 2008.
