The Freedom to Vote or the Freedom to Filibuster
Legislación
We the People deserve a responsive, accountable government that gives us all a meaningful voice and puts our needs ahead of those of special interests.
With the Freedom to Vote Act, we can make it happen.
This bold, comprehensive package of reforms tackles some of our democracy’s most pressing issues.
The bill sets fair, national standards such as a guaranteed two weeks of early voting; automatic voter registration; vote-by-mail for all who want it, postage prepaid; voter-verified paper ballots; strict rules to prohibit purging of eligible voters from the rolls.
The bill creates legally enforceable standards so that politicians cannot abuse their redistricting power for their own advantage.
The bill makes secret money organizations disclose their donors, ensuring voters know who is trying to influence our voices and our votes and holding anyone who violates disclosure rules accountable.
The bill implements a small-donor driven matching funds system, letting candidates run for the House of Representatives if states opt-in without relying on special interests. That way, public officials can better reflect the constituencies they serve.
The bill was introduced by the Senate as S. 1 in 2023, meaning it is the Senate’s top legislative priority. There is no question that passing this bill will be an uphill fight—but we cannot give up now.
Together, we need to show our support for this groundbreaking package of reforms and let Congress know that their constituents expect them to protect the freedom to vote.
