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.
