Legislature Receives Failing Grade on Voting Issues
Today, Common Cause Indiana issued its final report card for the Indiana General Assembly’s work on voting and election issues during the 2025 session.
Although the legislature improved its grades slightly in voting access and voter registration — from an F to a D in both — the final report card shows it still failed to address Indiana’s serious voter turnout problem.
“Again, this session, the General Assembly failed to enhance voting accessibility for the people. I instead, state legislators created more hoops for voters to jump through to cast a ballot. From forcing naturalized citizens to prove their citizenship to prohibiting college students from using their school IDs to vote, Indiana legislators are ignoring our real issues and instead passing solutions in search of problems. Our end of session report card shows they are not only failing to protect the voting rights of all Hoosiers but attacking our constitutional right to vote,” said Julia Vaughn, Common Cause Indiana Executive Director.
