Why Sign the Pledge?

Major elections across the European Union, the United States and Canada will see over 600 million citizens go to the polls to cast their vote. But they may not be the only ones to have their say – foreign powers will also want to influence the outcome. Governments, electoral commissions, and intelligence services have mobilized to varying degrees to counter these threats. Yet, not enough has been done.

Political parties and their candidates are on the front lines of democracy and election integrity. That is why the members of the TCEI are calling on all democratic parties as well as candidates themselves, to commit to take no action to aid and abet those who seek to undermine our democracies.
