The second iteration of IV3 is actively being developed. Bring your own voter data — as often as you acquire it — and get back actionable reports, insights, and analysis.
Then your team decides how best to use it in your state.

Federal and state law quagmires, constant political pressure, and lack of resources hinder the ability of counties to keep the rolls up to date. Counties try to do what they can, but it's a struggle. IV3 engages voters directly and supports good governance.
Scan. Check. Protect. is live today. Confirm your own registration is active where you live now — and get yourself off the rolls in every state you've left behind. Do the same for the people you care about.
Over 35 million Americans move every year. Sometimes the registration follows. Often it doesn't — and the old record stays active at an address that's been left behind. Someone else can vote it. [source]
Confirmation notices are supposed to be mailed when a record gets flagged — same-day registration, a challenge, inactivity. Between 2022 and 2024, about 70% were never returned. Only 10% of registrations were removed. The rest are still on the rolls. Still votable. [source]
One in five people will have their identity stolen in their lifetime, and reported cases are climbing every year. Your voter registration is part of your identity. No one tells you when it's used. Unless you check, you'll never know. [source]
We learned a lot from IV3, and its impact on states can't be understated. Many people signed up and used IV3 successfully, but many also faced issues when bringing challenges to their state. IV3 made a significant impact through the 2024 election cycle.
When we look at how best we can improve on what we started with IV3, we began to talk about the bottlenecks of the system and the roadblocks people faced with the challenge process. IV3 provided data to the individual and helped direct them towards registrations to challenge. When envisioning the next iteration of IV3, we wanted to retain those good parts of the system.
People worked independently within their state. That made it quick to jump in and get started, but it lacked the team building and strategy that working under an organization's umbrella offers.
People work together under vetted organizations within their state, collaborating and strategizing around how best to move the needle forward.
True the Vote was responsible for providing the data through IV3. When it wasn't updated frequently, that data went stale.
Organizations bring their own data, as frequently as they acquire it — so no one is limited to what True the Vote holds, and no one works against outdated analysis.
Everything centered on challenging registrations and tracking those challenges. That worked in states open-minded about clean voter rolls, and was outright rejected by those that weren't — severely limiting what volunteers there could do.
Actionable reports across several vectors of analysis, paired with graphics and interactive visualizations over the raw voter data. Challenges are still on the table — alongside a litany of other strategies organizations can choose from to fit their state.
