Our Impact
When Common Cause Pennsylvania takes action, we make a real difference for democracy.
With the support of our dedicated members, we have shown up time and time again to protect Pennsylvanians’ rights. We will continue to make our government here in Pennsylvania more open, honest, and accountable.
Mobilizing Election Protection Volunteers
Each federal election year, Common Cause Pennsylvania mobilizes nonpartisan volunteers across the state to serve as a first line of defense for voters. These volunteers answer voters’ questions at their polling places, make sure that voters know their rights, and report any attempts to intimidate or obstruct voters. This program has helped tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians make themselves heard at the ballot box.
Securing Act 77
In 2022, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld Act 77—a historic, bipartisan election reform bill passed in 2019 that permitted no-excuse vote-by-mail for the first time in the state’s history. This important legal victory will protect Pennsylvania voters’ right to cast their ballot securely and conveniently in the manner they choose. The lawsuit was filed by Common Cause Pennsylvania and partners.
