Who We Are

Americans Elect is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that is not affiliated 
with any political party, ideology or candidate. It is funded exclusively by 
individual contributions—and not from corporate, labor, special interest, 
foreign, or lobbyist sources. And we intend to repay our initial financing so 
that no single individual will have contributed more than $10K.

Ultimately, Americans Elect is the first nominating process that will be led 
directly by voters like YOU.
