Election Protection

Every legislative session, Common Cause Georgia shows up at the State Capitol to fight for a democracy that works for everyone. We monitor legislation, advocate for policies that protect and expand voting rights, ensure fair and transparent elections, and push back on efforts to concentrate power or silence civic participation. From redistricting and campaign finance reform to ballot access and ethics in government, we work across issue areas to hold lawmakers accountable and advance the interests of everyday Georgians.

We believe that a healthy democracy requires more than casting a ballot. That's why we also work to ensure that the rules governing our elections and our government are fair, transparent, and free from undue influence, and that all Georgians, regardless of background, have an equal voice in the decisions that shape their lives.

You can read details about important bills we are tracking this session and find letter and call campaigns we have set up to pressure our state elected officials around certain critical bills.

Looking to get more involved in our democracy, but not sure where to start? Are you a longtime activist looking for a community of like minded individuals? Join a Democracy Squad call!

Every first and third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM the Democracy Squad is an informal 30-minutes Zoom space where you can connect with fellow Georgians, learn what's happening in our state, and find your place in the movement. Come to chat, learn, or take action. We are building a people power movement to meet the current moment, and you are a part of it!
