Stopping Voter Suppression

Some elected officials are trying to silence voters by creating needless barriers to the ballot box. Common Cause is fighting back against these anti-democracy efforts.

We should be able to make our voices heard at the polls and have a say in the leaders who represent us. But sometimes, politicians push for laws that discourage, obstruct, or even intimidate voters in an effort to cling to their power.

Polling place closures, limits to vote-by-mail, and needlessly strict voter ID regulations can prevent eligible voters from casting their ballot—and lately, this playbook of voter suppression strategies has become more popular. Common Cause is stopping voter suppression by opposing these efforts in the legislature, in the courts, and beyond in defense of the right to vote.

2023 Elections Debrief

2023 Elections Debrief

Every year is an election year in Georgia. Even without statewide elections, in 2023 there were several municipal races throughout the state, from mayoral contests to school board seats to changes to special-purpose local-option sales tax (SPLOST). While much smaller scale and with lower turnout, these off-year contests offer a glimpse of issues we can expect entering the 2024 election cycle.
