Anthropic to add US voting information to Claude before midterms

Anthropic announced Wednesday that it will add official US voting information and election results to its Claude AI chatbot later this month. According to Hindustan Times - World News, the update is intended to help users access reliable election information and voting logistics while preventing the misuse of AI during political events. US users asking about voting procedures will receive answers drawn directly from a database of state and local election sources provided by the nonprofit Democracy Works.

The feature is expected to be available to US users later in October, ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections. Economic Times Tech also reported that the addition of information from Democracy Works will take place later this month in preparation for the November midterms.

In a separate report, Techmeme noted that Anthropic told investors during a meeting regarding a planned initial public offering that distillation accounts for 5% to 7% of revenue. The outlet reported that the company's rapid but slowing revenue growth could impact its IPO valuation.
