Fair Elections Center is a national, nonpartisan voting rights and election reform 501(c)(3) organization based in Washington, D.C.
2025 is almost over and weβre feeling nostalgic already π Take a trip down memory lane with us on a field trip to the state capitol β¬οΈ
Throughout the spring semester, Fair Elections Centerβs Campus Vote Project organized Legislative Advocacy Days in four of our core states. These events gave college students in Georgia, Arizona, Florida, and Texas the opportunity to learn how bills become laws in their states, meet their elected officials, and advocate for the issues they believe in!
Students left their capital cities with a better understanding of the legislative process and more confidence to fight for their own futures. By combining policy advocacy and student voting rights, two of Fair Elections Centerβs core programmatic areas, these Legislative Advocacy Days bring us one step closer to creating a future where all citizens are encouraged and empowered to develop lifelong habits of civic participation.
The SAVE system wasnβt designed for election security, but DHS is determined to use it as such. Using outdated and incomplete Social Security data to βverifyβ U.S. citizenship can lead to serious errors and voter suppression. Michelle Kanter Cohen, our policy director and senior counsel, explains why in a new StateScoop article.β

π¨ OHIO! π¨β
β
Your elected officials are trying to make it harder for you to vote by mail in the next election. Will you join our fight to stop them? β
β
SB 293 would further restrict the ability of Ohioans to vote by mail, eliminating the four-day grace period after Election Day for mail-in ballots to be delivered to the county board of elections.β
β
This bill has already passed through the Ohio Senate and has been introduced into the House of Representatives. At Fair Elections Center, we think your elected officials should be focused on making it easier to cast a ballot, not harder. If you agree, call your representative and tell them you oppose SB 293. β

Another Election Day in the books! Millions of Americans cast their ballots in state and local elections across the country, and we were there for it all. Thanks to all our state partners, Democracy Fellows, Student Advisory Board members, and our incredible Fair Elections Center staff for making Election Day 2025 a success!
At Fair Elections Center, we believe that voting should be celebrated. But in Ohio, the state legislature has used Election Day as an excuse to try and stop eligible citizens from casting their ballots. But we won`t be fooled. β
β
Tomorrow, two anti-voter bills will be heard in committee by the Ohio legislature. These bills, if passed, would create enormous barriers for tens of thousands of otherwise eligible Ohio citizens. If you agree that politicians should use their power to expand the right to vote, not restrict it, call your state senator and tell them to put a stop to SB153 and SB293. β
