Comment Text:
Lhe CFTC's proposal to ban these election markets undermines efforts to empower voters with accurate information about potential election outcomes and policy implications. These markets offer a transparent mechanism to predict electoral trends and educate voters on the impact of their choices. As a nonprofit leader, I emphasize the importance of extending the comment period to gather input from voter advocacy groups, community organizers, and grassroots activists who rely on these markets to foster civic literacy and strengthen democratic institutions.
