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.

Petition
Tell Michigan Lawmakers: Stop HJR B and Protect Our Right to Vote!
We urge you to reject HJR B and any efforts that make it harder for Michiganders to vote.
HJR B would impose unnecessary barriers to voter registration, disproportionately impacting seniors, students, military families, and working people.
Our democracy is strongest when every eligible voter can participate without fear of bureaucratic hurdles or unjust purges. Please stand against HJR B and protect the fundamental right to vote for all Michiganders.
Your financial support helps us make an impact by holding power accountable and strengthening democracy.
