Election watchdog groups are organizations that monitor the electoral process to ensure fairness, transparency, and integrity. They work to prevent fraud, promote voter education, and advocate for policies that enhance democratic participation. These groups often conduct research, provide resources for voters, and report on issues related to elections. These organizations can be nonpartisan or affiliated with specific political ideologies, but their primary goal is to uphold the democratic process. They may also engage in activities such as observing polling places, analyzing campaign finance, and reporting on potential violations of election laws, ensuring that the rights of voters are protected.
