Voting & Fair Representation: Protecting Your Voice
We all deserve a say in choosing leaders who will fight for us in the halls of power. The right to vote must be secure, fair, and open to all.
Our votes are how we decide the future for our families, our communities, and our country. But too often, politicians pass unfair voting rules that drown out the voices of everyday people or rig legislative maps so we don’t get a real choice.
That’s why Common Cause protects your voice at the ballot box, in Congress, in state legislatures, in the courts, and beyond.
We have passed hundreds of commonsense solutions that give every American a say in our future – including vote-by-mail, online voter registration, early voting, and independent redistricting – and blocked voter suppression policies like strict voter ID and purges of registered voters.

Submit Public Input: Speak out against Trump’s secret voter-purge system >>
Trump’s administration is quietly building a massive, unsecured data system of voters’ personal information – possibly even yours. They did it in secret, broke transparency rules, and hoped no one would ever find out. It’s a surveillance dragnet straight out of the DOGE playbook: pool everyone’s data in one place, use it to target voters, and ultimately pass laws that will make it harder for all of us to cast a ballot. Let’s be clear...

Tell Congress: Don’t let Trump punish voters
Trump has threatened to slash federal dollars that fund hospitals, housing, and schools for New Yorkers because they dared to vote for mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
And we have every reason to believe he’ll follow through. In recent months, he has specifically targeted places that didn’t vote for him last year – canceling billions of dollars for trains, tunnels, and clean energy in blue states, and rejecting disaster aid for blue states.
Our lawmakers must make it clear: no president can cut off funding just because he...
