Unfortunately, SCOTUS has allowed Virginia to purge eligible voters from the rolls. Eligible Virginia voters should know that they can still register to vote at their polling places on Election Day and cast their ballots the same day. @CampaignLegalCenter .

Naturalized citizens are immigrants who have worked hard to become American citizens and have the same freedom to vote as all other Americans.

Baseless attacks on drop boxes are another form of #VoterSuppression. Drop boxes are secure and expand access to the ballot box, particularly for people with disabilities and evening shift workers.

Drop boxes, which had been used for years in Wisconsin until they were mostly banned after Republicans mounted legal challenges, are back. They have become the subject of bitter debate.

Climate change impacts voting rights. It is important that communities impacted by hurricanes and other forms of extreme weather still have a real opportunity to vote.

Experts worry Hurricane Helene could reduce voter turnout, disrupt ballot delivery, or hamper accurate polling in North Carolina.

Another alarming report of #VoterIntimidation targeting Latinx communities, fueled by hateful campaign rhetoric and falsehoods. If you experience or witness voter intimidation, call the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE.

In Arizona and other states, the activists are accusing Latino advocacy groups of registering undocumented immigrants. Canvassers are growing concerned about safety.

If you were previously convicted of a felony, don’t assume that you can’t vote! The rules vary by state and most states restore the right to vote to citizens after they complete their sentences.
