New York Election Protection
The right to vote and have our voices heard is fundamental to our democracy.
Proteksyon sa Halalan
Every eligible voter deserves a say in the policies that impact their daily lives. That is why Common Cause mobilizes volunteers nationwide to help voters cast their ballot.
The right to vote and have our voices heard is fundamental to our democracy. In defense of this right, Common Cause co-leads the Election Protection Coalition to help Americans across the country navigate the voting process and cast their ballot without obstruction, confusion, or intimidation. Our election protection efforts include:
- Deploying thousands of on-the-ground volunteers at polling places
- Recruiting a team of legal experts to staff the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline
- Monitoring social media for harmful election disinformation
These election protection efforts are a crucial line of defense for voters against suppression tactics, confusing laws, outdated infrastructure, and more. Above all, we inform voters of their rights, help elections officials handle problems in real time, and notify attorneys when the situation warrants legal intervention.

Karaniwang Dahilan/Hinihiling ng NY na Patalsikin ng Kongreso si George Santos
"Ang fact finding bi-partisan report ngayon mula sa House Ethics Committee ay nagpapalinaw na si G. Santos ay hindi karapat-dapat para sa pampublikong katungkulan.
