Every election has a story.
Sometimes it's a first-time candidate challenging the political establishment. Sometimes it's a remarkable local race that never makes national headlines. Other times it's an election law change, a campaign strategy, a fascinating piece of political history, or a unique fact about how democracy works in a particular community.
Politics runs so much deeper than the national stage. You have a front row seat to the most interesting issues right at home in your local elections. At American Election HQ, we believe these stories deserve to be told.
We're looking for writers, researchers, political enthusiasts, journalists, campaign professionals, students, historians, and engaged citizens who want to help build the nation's most comprehensive source for election coverage and political insight.

We understand that politics often involves differing viewpoints, and thoughtful analysis is welcome. However, our goal is to inform readers, encourage critical thinking, and provide balanced coverage that adds value to the national conversation.
Your work will contribute to a growing library of election intelligence that informs voters across the country. Contributors have the opportunity to become part of a growing network of journalists focused on elections, public policy, and civic engagement while building a national audience.
We will encourage journalists to help document races that larger media organizations often overlook by covering elections in their own communities and we will support your efforts with our resources.
