Skip to content Fair Elections Center is a national, nonpartisan voting rights and election reform 501(c)(3) organization based in Washington, D.C.
We are a non-partisan organization dedicated to safeguarding the future of our democracy through innovative efforts focused on voting rights and civic engagement.
We envision a civic ecosystem where all people can easily and freely participate in our democracy and where this participation is actively supported and valued by our local communities, institutions and government.
Our mission is to use litigation and advocacy to remove barriers to registration and voting, particularly those disenfranchising underrepresented and marginalized communities, and to improve election administration.

It may be a new year, but fighting for your voting rights never goes out of style 😌
2024 was a major year for voting rights. Millions of Americans made their voices heard at the ballot box, and we proved that every 👏 vote 👏 matters 👏
Fair Elections Center was there through it all. Our legal and policy team advocated for and against nearly 100 pieces of legislation and brought eight cases to court. Our Work Elections Project played no small part in avoiding a national poll worker shortage — over 64,000 people visited our website to learn more about being a poll worker. And over 400 college students participated in our Democracy Fellow Program, completing nearly 75,000 hours of democratic engagement on their campuses.
Our team fought hard for your voting rights this year, a fight that will continue into 2025 and beyond. We hope you`ll join us 🗳️
🚨VIRGINIA🚨

2024 was a year to remember! FEC hosted statewide student voting summits across 13 states, bringing together hundreds of students and campus leaders across the country. 🙌🏼 Attendees explored everything from local election laws to disability rights and voting, how to navigate tough election conversations, and using effective tools for student outreach. Our incredible guest speakers included a diverse group of voting rights experts who shared their expertise and insights to prep us for Election Day and beyond.
We’re so inspired by the energy and commitment from this year and can’t wait to see even more of you at next year’s summits! Let’s continue building stronger, more informed, and engaged campus communities together. 💪 🗳️ #StudentVoting #CampusLeaders #DemocracyInAction
