Campaign Legal Center (CLC) is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to vacate a stay placed on a lower court's decision in the Florida voting rights restoration case, Jones v. DeSantis. 

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on July 6, 2020 that states have the authority to require presidential electors to vote for the candidate that wins the popular vote in their state.  

Arizonans who served time in an Arizona state prison who are now seeking restoration of their voting rights through a petition to a court should use this document to first request a copy of their certificate of absolute discharge.

On June 30, 2020, CLC filed suit against the FEC for failing to act on our administrative complaint demonstrating that Iowa Values, a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporation, violated federal campaign finance law by failing to register as a political committee and publicly disclose its donors. CLC's administrative complaint had been pending with the FEC for over 190 days.  

Campaign Legal Center (CLC) submitted testimony for an oversight hearing conducted by the Council of the District of Columbia following the June 2020 primary which was marred by voting issues. The testimony, submitted by CLC Senior Director, Trial Litigation & Chief of Staff Adav Noti, highlights lessons that DC and other jurisdictions throughout the U.S. should learn from the recent primary. Noti served as a pollworker and precinct captain in his personal capacity. If left unaddressed, issues that arose in this primary could severely disrupt the November 2020 general election.

Campaign Legal Center (CLC) filed a complaint with the United States Trade Representative (USTR) in the Executive Office of the President against two employees who wrote new trade rules for the auto industry and then offered members of the industry their paid consulting services for complying with the new rules while still employed at USTR.

CLC strongly believes it is time for Congress to act and give the residents of the District the same rights and essential voice in government as the rest of America.

An executive order to restore voting rights will be a tremendous step forward for Iowa and for the rights of returning citizens. In this letter, Campaign Legal Center (CLC) encourages Govenor Reynolds to craft an inclusive order. In particular, we urge her to ensure that Iowans are not denied their voice in our democracy simply because they cannot afford to pay their way into the ballot box.

Plaintiffs and the Minnesota Secretary of State have signed a consent decree which will allow voters to cast an absentee ballot in the state's August 11, 2020 primary without a witness present.

Campaign Legal Center (CLC) and a coalition of organizations sent a letter to the Georgia Secretary of State and election officials identifying three urgent elections administration actions to help protect the integrity of the state’s June 9, 2020 primary elections.

Campaign Legal Center (CLC) filed a supplemental complaint with Department of Justice's (DOJ) Office of Professional Responsibility asking for an investigation into Attorney General William P. Barr and former acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Timothy J. Shea. Their unusual move to dismiss a criminal case against an associate of President Trump and Attorney General Barr's intervention in peaceful protests near the White House conflict with legal requirements for the DOJ officials to act impartially and to insulate themselves from political influence.

CLC drafted a friend-of-the-court brief in the Washington Supreme Court to underscore the constitutionality of the Washington Voting Rights Act under the state constitution's uniformity requirements. The brief was filed by partners ACLU of Washington and MacDonald, Hoague & Bayless on behalf of OneAmerica.
