The Principled Voter Certification is the Thomas Jefferson Center’s most basic certification.

The Principled Voter Exam tests the applicant’s mastery of Natural Law political philosophy and comprehension of the basic principles of successful government. Voters who have received this certification have demonstrated the ability to vote the way the Founding Fathers voted. Certified principled voters are considered by the Thomas Jefferson Center as prepared to represent the basic beliefs of the Founding Fathers and the philosophers who inspired them.

There are no prerequisites for this certification. This certification is a prerequisite to joining the Restoration Generation.

Notice: Because grading exam submissions and conducting certification interviews are very time consuming for members of the Certification Board, the Thomas Jefferson Center requires a fee for each certification application attempt.
