Available on Time.com, TIME Votes will offer readers service-oriented stories that provide context for this election cycle as well as accessible, non-partisan resources for voters. In his letter to readers introducing the new initiative, **TIME Editor in Chief Sam Jacobs** writes: “Though the last three elections witnessed historically high turnout, polls still show widespread unease among Americans about the integrity of our election system. Satisfaction with how democracy works in the United States is at an all-time low. Unease has spread among Americans about the durability of democracy, a sentiment that crosses party lines and chips at the foundation of what many believe makes America an example to the world…. To do our part to encourage civic participation, we are launching a new initiative called TIME Votes.” TIME Votes debuts with the **Democracy Defenders** list spotlighting 11 leaders—from Democrats and Republicans, public officials and private individuals, business leaders and civil rights crusaders—who are working to boost voter registration, reverse disenfranchisement and combat misinformation. The list includes: Nevada Secretary of State **Cisco Aguilar**, founder of USAFACTS **Steve Balmer**, former Trump Campaign consultant, **Ken Block**; civil rights activist, **Courtland Cox**; Votebeat editor in chief, **Chad Lorenz**; principal threat intelligence investigator of OpenAI, **Ben Nimmo**; Wisconsin Elections Commission administrator **Meagan Wolfe**, and more.
