Election Security
We deserve to know that our votes are accurately counted and protected from sophisticated cyber attacks. Common Cause is pushing for reforms that make our elections even more secure.
The integrity of our voting system is important to all of us, and we can always do more to make sure ballots nationwide are counted as cast. The most effective election security solutions include:
- Retiring old and outdated voting machines and upgrading the technology we use
- Moving toward using paper ballots in every state
- Requiring risk-limiting, post-election audits of ballots to confirm that reported election results are accurate
- Ensuring paper back-ups of our voter registration databases and electronic voter rolls
- Eliminating the use of online voting
We are working with election officials and administrators at the national, state, and local levels to implement these common sense election security measures to safeguard our elections.
