Youth Voting

Young people are the future of our democracy, and Common Cause is winning reforms that empower the next generation to take action.

From gun violence to climate change to the cost of college, young people are directly impacted by today’s public policy decisions. Common Cause fights to ensure that they have a meaningful say in our democracy by lowering the voting age to 16, bringing on democracy fellows who engage their college campuses in pro-democracy work, and leading other youth voting efforts.

What We’re Doing


Our Work at the Georgia State Capitol

Legislation

Our Work at the Georgia State Capitol

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.
