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

Stop HJR B

Legislation

Stop HJR B

HJR B is Michigan's version of the federal SAVE Act — both would gut voter registration and block voters. The proposed requirement of documentary proof of citizenship in order to vote would disenfranchise millions of Republican, Democratic, and independent voters who do not have passports, birth certificates, or other forms of identification required under the legislation.

Petition

Tell Michigan Lawmakers: Stop HJR B and Protect Our Right to Vote!

We urge you to reject HJR B and any efforts that make it harder for Michiganders to vote.

HJR B would impose unnecessary barriers to voter registration, disproportionately impacting seniors, students, military families, and working people.

Our democracy is strongest when every eligible voter can participate without fear of bureaucratic hurdles or unjust purges. Please stand against HJR B and protect the fundamental right to vote for all Michiganders.

Your financial support helps us make an impact by holding power accountable and strengthening democracy.
