We're fighting for modern, accurate, and secure elections.

It’s no secret that our democracy works best when every eligible member can participate. That’s why we’re working to improve every step of the electoral process—passing laws that facilitate access to the ballot box, helping voters who have trouble on Election Day, and working with election administrators to ensure our voting systems and machines are safe and reliable.
