To make every vote count, our elections must be safe and accessible so everyone’s voice is heard, including those who have served their time and paid their debt to society. Black Americans and communities of color, in particular, have historically been and continue to be excluded from participating in the democratic process.

CLC believes that state and federal policies should uniformly protect the right to vote, promote trust in our elections and boost voter participation across the United States. Through litigation, policy analysis, state-based advocacy and public education, CLC seeks to protect the freedom to vote and build confidence in our election system.
