## Summary

ChatGPT has provided voting information from the non-partisan organisation Democracy Works more than 16 million times during the 2026 US election cycle, according to the figure reported by The Hill. The partnership gives people asking about election logistics access to information on registration, deadlines, polling places and voting requirements. The figure counts instances in which information was provided; it does not establish how many individual voters used it or whether it affected turnout.

OpenAI and Democracy Works announced their partnership in May, and OpenAI says the integration is available in ChatGPT across languages in the United States. The arrangement reflects a wider effort to give people reliable answers to practical voting questions as AI assistants become a source of election information. Its reach also raises a question for the platforms: whether answers remain accurate and current when local rules or polling arrangements change. Voters can check consequential details with their state or local election authority.
