“Turning Signatures into Donations & Votes”
Why Do Petitions Fail?
Using Petition Engine we can help you make sure your petition makes the ballot, you build your own database, which can be used for donations, GOTV and future petition projects.
Around 70–80% of petition efforts fail because they do not gather enough valid signatures to meet the required minimum. Even among collected signatures, a significant portion may be disqualified due to issues like voter registration errors, residency requirements, or other technicalities.
To compensate for these risks, national best practices recommend gathering 25–50% more signatures than the minimum required.
Large petition firms often spend significant amounts of money to verify their petitions — but even after paying for verification, they do not receive access to the underlying database, cannot contact the individuals who signed, and cannot use that information for donations or Get Out The Vote (GOTV) activities when their petitions are on the ballot.
“We’re building the compass for petition verification in America—an integrated system of physical and digital tools that guide both citizens and government officials through the signature process with clarity, trust, and transparency. From grassroots campaigns to official state-level verification, our platform ensures every signature is counted accurately and fairly. At the heart of this is our state-secure hardware, purpose-built to give governments a verifiable, offline infrastructure—while civilians use our intuitive tools to navigate the process from signature gathering to submission. It’s not just infrastructure—it’s direction, accountability, and confidence in action.”
