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.

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.

Building a participatory democracy means including everyone—and that is especially important at the ballot box. Common Cause supports strong, accessible elections reforms, including language access requirements so that voters are presented with ballots in the language they speak at home. Plus, we are enacting safeguards at polling places to ensure that voters with disabilities can fully participate in our elections.
