Issues
Voting and Elections
In our elections, every voice must be heard and every vote must count. The ballot box should be accessible for all voters, and our laws should promote participation in our democracy.
Campaign Legal Center seeks to protect and expand access to voting and ensure our elections are safe and secure.
Campaign Legal Center fights in court to uphold the freedom to vote for all Americans by combatting anti-voter laws that would impose unnecessary barriers to accessing the ballot box. We work to restore voting rights for Americans with past felony convictions and advocate for state and federal policies that expand opportunities for eligible Americans to access in-person voting, mail and absentee voting and voter registration.
Campaign Legal Center also works to combat federal overreach in our elections and uphold the constitutional principle that only states and Congress set election policy.

Recent Voting and Elections Cases and Actions
Campaign Legal Center, Democracy Defenders Fund, and the NAACP Office of General Counsel, on behalf of LULAC, the NAACP, NAACP California/Hawaii State Conference, and NAACP Los Angeles Branch moved to intervene in a Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit seeking to potentially block the counting of ballots of more than 20,000 California voters. The groups are defending the freedom to vote in the 2026 midterm elections and arguing that DOJ lacks the authority to force California to disenfranchise eligible voters based on unreliable data and in violation of state and federal law.
