2026

Common Cause Georgia works to defend and strengthen democracy by advocating for free, fair, and accessible elections across the state. In 2026, our work is focused on building a powerful network of activists ready to push back on authoritarianism and fight for government accountability and transparency.

We working to:

-Protect voting access: Opposing major anti-voter legislation, including measures like the SAVE Act at the Federal level and all state level anti-voter legislation. Including election protection, our monitoring work of the State Election Board, and monitoring county election boards across the state.

-Strengthen coalitions: Partnering with grassroots organizations across the state to build collective power and coordinate advocacy efforts.

-Civic engagement & education: Building community, training and equipping people and community members with the tools to advocate, monitor elections, and take action on key democracy issues.

Through this work, Common Cause Georgia is building a more inclusive, participatory democracy centering the voices of communities most impacted and preparing for critical elections ahead.

Join the Common Cause Georgia Elections Action Team

Georgia's elections face mounting threats from federal overreach, right-wing activist infiltration of county boards of elections, and voter intimidation tactics like proposed ICE presence at polling locations. Common Cause Georgia is fighting back by recruiting volunteers for two critical roles: Board of Elections monitors who attend county BOE meetings, track local developments, and help build county-specific advocacy strategies; and Election Protection volunteers who show up on Election Day to ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot free from interference or intimidation. Training is provided for all volunteers, and stipends are available for those who need financial support to participate. Whether you can commit to one role or both, your involvement helps defend free and fair elections in Georgia.
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.
