Your Vote Can Save Lives


Cancer Votes Logo

Cancer Votes is ACS CAN's nonpartisan electoral program that informs candidates at all levels of government—and the public—on the actions needed to make cancer a top priority and ensures candidates hear directly about the issues that affect cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and families. 

Through Cancer Votes, ACS CAN is asking candidates seeking federal office to sign the Cancer Promise, a pledge to support evidence-based public policy solutions to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. 

ACS CAN does not endorse or oppose candidates and does not contribute to campaigns. Regardless of election outcomes, ACS CAN works with all elected officials on our cancer policy priorities.
