The Center does this by aggregating and disseminating detailed information about government, candidates for office, elected officials, and voting in the united states in easily accessible "datasets". These datasets include information that help the general public find basic information, including what is on their ballot and who represents them. These datasets are freely and universally available to the public.

The Center's government services program educates government agencies about the skills, strategies, and tools to engage their citizens. This is accomplished through (1) written and multimedia materials, (2) providing expert consulting services to government agencies, and (3) in-person training seminars for local government agencies.
