VoteFlare is a technological tool that combats the effects of restrictive voting legislation. The tool is designed to monitor people’s voter registration in real time. When users sign up for the platform, they receive a digital alert that notifies them the moment a change has been made to their voter record. VoteFlare operates by syncing with a state's voter file to monitor anything that could affect how an individual participates in a democracy, including: a change of address, a change of party affiliation, and a change of absentee or vote by mail to an in-person vote.
