Election Protection
No eligible Nebraska voter should face intimidation or harassment at their polling place. We're mobilizing volunteers to answer questions and assist voters.
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.
What We’re Doing
Campaign
Voting Rights Restoration
The voting rights of thousands of Nebraskans with felony convictions have been restored! After decades of advocacy and a battle in the courts, voting rights restoration has been upheld.
Campaign
Advocating for Accessible Elections
There's a lot we can do to improve how our elections work. Reforms are being implemented across the country that could make voting more accessible for every Nebraskan.
Campaign
Fair Redistricting In Nebraska
Nebraskans deserve fair elections, where every vote counts, and the outcomes reflect the will of the people. To achieve that goal, we need a redistricting process that serves voters instead of political insiders.
Petition
Tell Congress: REJECT the anti-voter SAVE Act
Every eligible American deserves the freedom to vote without jumping through impossible hoops.
But the SAVE Act would scare newly naturalized citizens out of voting and make it harder for millions of eligible voters to cast a ballot – especially seniors, women, students, veterans, and rural voters.
REJECT the anti-voter SAVE Act and protect our right to vote.
