Briefwahl, vorzeitige Stimmabgabe und Erweiterung der Wahlmöglichkeiten

Our democracy works best when every voter can cast their ballot and be heard. Common Cause is making sure voters have options on how to cast a ballot.

In our democracy, our vote is our voice and every voter across the country deserves a say in the people and policies that impact their lives. That is why we are advocating for proven and secure ways to make voting more convenient for eligible Americans, including:

  • Vote-by-Mail: Letting eligible voters send in their ballots via the USPS,
  • Early Voting: Giving voters extra days before Election Day to cast their ballot,
  • Voting Dropboxes: Allowing voters to place their ballots in secure local receptacles ahead of Election Day.

Reforms like these make elections more accessible while keeping them fair and safe.

Sign the Petition: Enact Automatic Voter Registration nationwide

Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) would help ensure that every eligible American has a voice in our democracy, save states money, and make voting rolls more accurate and secure. That’s why AVR should be enacted in each and every state to modernize our outdated voter registration system.
