Wisconsin Election Protection
We work with Election Protection Coalition partners to safeguard elections in Wisconsin and help voters cast their ballot without confusion, obstruction, or intimidation.
Election Protection
Every eligible voter deserves a say in the policies that impact their daily lives. That is why Common Cause mobilizes volunteers nationwide to help voters cast their ballot.
The right to vote and have our voices heard is fundamental to our democracy. In defense of this right, Common Cause co-leads the Election Protection Coalition to help Americans across the country navigate the voting process and cast their ballot without obstruction, confusion, or intimidation. Our election protection efforts include:
- Deploying thousands of on-the-ground volunteers at polling places
- Recruiting a team of legal experts to staff the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline
- Monitoring social media for harmful election disinformation
These election protection efforts are a crucial line of defense for voters against suppression tactics, confusing laws, outdated infrastructure, and more. Above all, we inform voters of their rights, help elections officials handle problems in real time, and notify attorneys when the situation warrants legal intervention.
