Redistricting Legislation

Voters should choose their representatives—representatives shouldn’t choose their voters. We’re fighting to make sure that districts are based on communities, not political aspirations. 

Featured Issues


Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence has the potential to super-charge election disinformation and other anti-voter tactics. We need a bold reform agenda to fight back. Common Cause is committed to pushing for AI transparency and accountability to support our democracy.
Ballot Language Access & Accessible Elections

Ballot Language Access & Accessible Elections

Every voter has the right to cast a ballot independently and privately. We're working with local election officials to make that a reality.
Election Protection

Election Protection

Every eligible voter deserves a say in the policies that impact their daily lives. That is why Common Cause mobilizes volunteers nationwide to help voters cast their ballot.
Fair Redistricting & Ending Gerrymandering

Fair Redistricting & Ending Gerrymandering

Politicians should not be allowed to draw voting maps that benefit themselves. We need to create a fair system so that voters choose their politicians, not the other way around.
