Priorities

What We're Doing
Legislation
Michigan Needs Its Own Voting Rights Act
Campaign
Protect the Vote in 2024
We know that far too many voters in Michigan, especially voters of color, face barriers to the ballot box—like long lines, not enough voting machines or equipment, confusing laws, disinformation, or even just human error.
That is why this year, Common Cause Michigan is part of the largest nonpartisan Election Protection effort yet. We are mobilizing nonpartisan volunteers across the state to help voters cast their ballot freely and fairly without confusion, obstruction, or intimidation.
Our democracy works best when every voter can participate and when every ballot is counted as cast. Voters deserve to be informed and prepared to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

Featured Issues
National Popular Vote & Electoral College
We deserve presidential elections where every voter has an equal voice and where the winning candidate must engage with all 50 states. Common Cause is pushing to fix the broken Electoral College.
Voting Rights Restoration
A democracy that is truly of, by, and for the people must extend the right to vote to all its citizens. Common Cause is pushing back against laws that disenfranchise and disempower millions of Americans every year.
Ethics & Accountability
Public officials should act in all of our interest, not to line their own pockets. Common Cause is fighting to ensure that all of our leaders are held to high ethical standards.
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.
