Description
Founded in 2012, the R Street Institute (R Street) is a think tank focused on resolving public policy issues through effective governance. The organization brings together center-right thought leaders and influencers to enhance election integrity, combat misinformation, and restore public trust in democratic institutions. R Street focuses on modernizing the electoral system through reforms that enhance transparency, expand nonpartisan voter participation, and safeguard elections workers from threats and intimidation. Its recent work includes state-level policy analysis and advocacy for innovations such as ranked-choice voting and mail-in ballots. R Street also examines the evolving role of artificial intelligence in election policy in reducing misinformation while upholding free speech. With Corporation support, R Street will collaborate with election officials across the ideological spectrum to pursue policies that strengthen civic trust, increase voter participation, ensure fair representation, and promote secure and trustworthy elections.
