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.
About 39 million Americans voted in-person on Election Day last year, while about 115 million Americans voted before Election Day, either by mail or during early voting.
About 20 million registered voters didn`t cast their ballot at all.
Polling locations, or the places where voters go to cast their ballot in-person, have drastically dwindled over the last decade. Our Communications Intern Yasmine Ganemtore takes a look at the factors that go into opening and closing a polling location, and how public engagement and policy change are necessary to keep polling locations open and accessible.

State lawmakers are trying stop thousands of Texas citizens from voting. Join our fight to stop them 👇
HB 5337 would impose a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to register to vote (or remain registered to vote, if voter is already registered)—even though noncitizen voting is already illegal in Texas, and data has continuously proven that noncitizen voting is not a problem in the United States.
SB 16, a companion bill, has already passed the Texas Senate. Tomorrow, the House Elections Committee is holding a hearing on HB 5337. f you agree that all eligible Texas voters should have equal access to the ballot box, submit a public comment (only available to Texas residents) at comments.house.texas.gov/home?c=c240 (link in bio) or contact your state representative and tell them to vote NO on HB 5337.
¡Sí, se puede!

The SAVE Act just passed the House of Representatives.
The truth is this so-called “SAVE” Act isn’t about saving anyone — it’s about silencing voters. If this bill is passed by the Senate and signed into law, it would impact everyone, but especially burden military voters, tribal voters, rural voters, survivors of natural disasters, communities of colors, and tens of millions of married people in America who have changed their names.
It’s now up to the Senate to do the right thing and reject his bill, and our representatives should instead pass laws that ensure everyone, regardless of how much money they have or where they come from, can have a say in our government.

The SAVE Act isn`t about saving anything — it`s about silencing voters. It would create barriers that block millions from registering to vote, especially impacting women, communities of color, and working families. Tell Congress to vote NO on SAVE Act!

Earlier this week, the White House signed an executive order in an attempt to reshape the way US elections are run. Among other provisions, the EO claims to have the power to force the use of documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, require states to receive all ballots by Election Day (regardless of state law), and threatens to take away federal funding from agencies that do not comply with the order.
But let us be very clear: The Constitution explicitly gives the states and Congress the authority to set the rules for elections — not the president.
