Democratic Integrity
ISD works to detect threats to democracy and democratic institutions around the world. Recent work includes safeguarding election integrity in the United States, the UK, Germany, Canada, France, Kenya, Australia, Ireland and Poland. Our work informs capacity-building efforts for civil society, briefings for national, state and local authorities, and expert testimony for federal committees on threats to democratic processes.
