Body

The 2026-07-03 curl pass against ndi.org/ recovered the NDI institutional blurb (“Working for Democracy, Making Democracy Work”); the About-NDI framing on the body is reproduced verbatim: “The National Democratic Institute (NDI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that believes a world rooted in freedom — where people have a say in how they’re governed and with leaders who are accountable to the people — fosters more stability, security and prosperity for everyone. NDI envisions a world where democracy and freedom prevail, with dignity for all. We are privileged to work with exceptional individuals whose tireless efforts for freedom make the world a safer, more secure and prosperous place” [source: ndi-voter-registration].

NDI’s “What We Do” three-track framing on the homepage: Empowering people “to speak freely, get involved, and have a say in how they’re governed”; Making democracy work “by helping political parties, government agencies, and elected officials do better at listening to people, staying accountable to them, and meeting their needs”; Strengthening democracies “by challenging those who undermine freedom and working to create a safer, more secure and more prosperous world” [source: ndi-voter-registration]. The Election Calendar block surfaces upcoming elections on the homepage — at the time of scrape: Nigeria 8 August 2026, Zambia 13 August 2026, Haiti 30 August 2026 [source: ndi-voter-registration]. NDI’s “Where We Work” tagline claims “Strengthening democracy in more than 156 countries around the globe” [source: ndi-voter-registration].

The Voter Registration Handbook — NDI’s practitioner publication on voter-registration programming (typically a how-to for civic-society implementers building VR campaigns in transitional or new-democracy contexts) — is registered under this slug but the specific deep link was not captured by the homepage scrape. The NDI library at ndi.org/publications is the canonical location.
