Understanding Regulations.gov in Advocacy Forms
Overview
The Regulations.gov integration in EveryAction Advocacy forms lets your organization run public comment campaigns connected to proposed federal regulations. Unlike contacting elected officials, this feature connects supporters directly to Regulations.gov—a federal system for official public comment submissions.
When your Advocacy form is connected to Regulations.gov, a supporter's comment is sent directly to Regulations.gov when they submit the form.
Use the sections below to find the right help for where you are in the process. You don't need to do everything at once.
