Election Protection

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These election protection efforts are a crucial line of defense for voters against suppression tactics, confusing laws, outdated infrastructure, and more.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.

YES! I’ll help Common Cause Texas protect voters this year!

We’re on a mission to run our biggest Election Protection program yet – going even bigger than 2020’s historic mobilization! Our volunteers will be working in their communities – helping their neighbors vote in the primaries, throughout early voting, or even in-person on Election Day. But we can’t do it without your support. Contributions to Common Cause Education Fund are tax deductible — our tax identification number is 31-1705370.

Your financial support helps us make an impact by holding power accountable and strengthening democracy.
