Voting Rights Laws

Voting Rights Laws

We are at the forefront of the most important federal and state voting rights cases around the country. We actively oppose discriminatory voter photo ID laws, fight against attacks voter registration process and hold lawmakers accountable when they try to institute last-minute Election Day barriers. We work year-round to combat voter suppression through advocacy, grassroots organizing, legal action and public education.

Before Friday, urge your legislators to do everything they can to ensure that the Connecticut Voting Rights Act (CTVRA) stays in the budget. The CTVRA is the nation’s most comprehensive state-level voting rights act. Yet, Connecticut voters face persistent barriers to equal participation for voters of color and people whose first language isn’t English. To remain the national leader and implement the CTVRA, Connecticut must adequately fund its protections in the 2025 biennial budget.
