Funding and independence

Who pays for VoteFiles, and what they can't buy

VoteFiles is an independent project, not a charity and not affiliated with any government body, party, or campaign. The archive has no paywall and no advertising. This page lists every funding source as it begins, and the rules that keep money away from what the record says.
