2024 Legislative Priorities
This is a landmark year for Common Cause Maryland: as we head into the 2024 legislative session, we will be celebrating fifty years of fighting for an honest, open, and inclusive democracy. Since our founding in 1974, our team of democracy experts, past and present, have passed pragmatic, common-sense reforms that have strengthened democracy in Maryland. That work continues this session.
In preparation for critical elections this year, Common Cause Maryland will be supporting legislation that ensures every vote counts, that every eligible voter has an equal say, and that our elections reflect the will of voters. We will also champion pro-democracy reforms that create greater accountability and build on our efforts for over half a century to create a truly participatory democracy at all levels of government. Though we expect many bills will be introduced this year, the list below outlines our priorities for the 90-day session.
