AltElxn 2025 – Independent Federal Election Coverage
#AltElxn 2025 is a coordinated national project by the National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA/ANREC), bringing together over 30 radio stations and local journalists from across the country.
Our goal is to offer independent, community-based election coverage that highlights national issues through a local lens. With a focus on authentic voices and community impact, the series explores the stories, candidates, and concerns shaping the upcoming federal election.
